Keep As Bélisle has been Canadian ambassador to four French-speaking African countries, there are sure to be good sources for this page available, largely in French. I see LibStar is still putting much effort into getting pages about ambassadors deleted, but I do not see him making a positive contribution to any of them.

Not ad hominem, LibStar, just a comment on your unwillingness to look for sources and improve the pages you target when you find them. Moonraker (talk) 03:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I think he just squeaks by NPOL status as the director of a UN agency. I will look for more sources though to see if article can be improved. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:24, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete After searching, I cannot find any independent sources with significant coverage to meet GNG unfortunately. (Gscholar and Gbooks turn up several hits, but they all seem to be published or have significant ties to the International Trade Centre which he led). Since NPOL is a secondary requirement, I withdraw my keep !vote. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:00, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unsourced BLP. fails GNG and BIO. BEFORE showed nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. The keep didn't supply sources or arguments based in policy and guidelines, so the only response is an offer of cheese for the whine.

BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 13:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
