Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Lack of significant coverage to meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 00:47, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Bilateral relations, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and United Kingdom. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 08:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: WP:BIO says "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." A quick glance at the hits in Google Books supports that, and there is also other good coverage on the Council of Europe's web site and elsewhere. A significant career, sadly cut short.

Any hits on JSTOR? LibStar (talk) 00:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I do not have access where I am now. It wouldn't surprise me, you may wish to check. It would be constructive if you would also spend a little time improving this article, before you move on to finding yet another British ambassador to challenge. Moonraker (talk) 00:44, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  One of the added sources is just a 1 line mention and not about Yvon as the subject so fails WP:SIRS. LibStar (talk) 02:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sure, that is not "in depth" but it supports the fact it cites. There are many other sources, a pity your only input here is to find fault with those who add content. Did you check JSTOR? Moonraker (talk) 23:21, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What are the "many other sources' that meet WP:SIRS? LibStar (talk) 01:36, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - - If you were to look for yourself, you would find them with no difficulty. Moonraker (talk) 03:48, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        WP:MUSTBESOURCES. The onus is on keep voters to demonstrate existence of sources. LibStar (talk) 09:30, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        
        The Google Books hits mostly look like one line mentions. LibStar (talk) 03:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:SIRS. No evidence of independent in-depth sources. --TadejM ^{my talk} 13:41, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
