Delete. Fails WP:GNG/WP:BIO due to no coverage in reliable, third-party published sources. He is (apparently) a professor but doesn't meet any of the criteria at WP:PROF, either. Woodroar (talk) 22:09, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The two people named Colin Evans who we also have articles on, and the Colin Evans who writes books about forensics, all appear to be notable. But for this one we have no evidence of academic, political, or general notability, even in the pre-cut-down version of the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of sources showing notability. Balle010 (talk) 04:44, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the one source is not enough to show notability, and being a trade representative is not a default sign of notability. In fact, no diplomatic post gives default notability, we need 3rd party sourcing, which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:48, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- can't find much in the way of reliable sources for this guy. I don't think they exist! And prima facie he does not seem to meet GNG. jp×g 05:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
