Fails verification. I could not determine that a person of this name exists, much less was ambassador from Somalia to Germany. I did find Abdurahman Abdulle Osman "Shuke", a Somali politician and director of the Puntland Development Research Center, but don't believe they were ambassador to Germany either. I could verify every entry on List of ambassadors of Somalia to China, so expect that if he were ambassador there would be some reference online. The only reference in the article is a collection of German poetry; WorldCat says it is not in any library in the United States. Whether or not he actually was ambassador (or some other position in the embassy), I don't think he is notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: This is clearly heading in the direction of deletion, however, given just one reaction, could use a bit of extra time to make absolutely sure that no identification error was made.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, gidonb (talk) 04:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't find anything (in English, Somali, or German) that refers to him, so even if he were an ambassador (a dubious proposition at best), he still would not be notable. (Even if he were notable, the article would still have to go as unreferenced.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:31, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
