Note. She appears to have gone by Dilys, rather than Martha. A search of Dilys Buckley-Jones is more successful. Pburka (talk) 12:18, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

she is mostly making statements as an "External affairs spokesman" under that name. and not indepth coverage of her as a person. LibStar (talk) 00:24, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yet another nomination incorrectly claiming little or no news coverage. It seems that the nominator made no more than a superficial effort to find sources. The subject is a former spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, and has dozens of GNews hits. Many of them are trivial mentions in her role as spokesperson, but others represent significant coverage. In 1967 the Calgary Herald thought she was important enough to write a long article about her visit to the city.[1] In 1997 the Toronto Star announced her appointment as ambassador.[2]. She's quoted in 100 Years of Canadian Foreign Policy.[3] This source[4] indicates that the Zambia Daily Mail published an interview with the ambassador on 17 July 2000 (like many older sources, it doesn't seem to be available on-line). Her opinions about negotiations with Gorbachev are reported in Journal Études Internationales.[5] Pburka (talk) 01:23, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yes the Toronto star announced her appointment but that is a routine 2 line statement. Journal Études Internationales is merely 2 statements by her. And it's a mere one line quote in 100 Years of Canadian Foreign Policy in a book. I don't see a significant contribution to diplomacy (making a few quotes don't count). She does not meet WP:BASIC, lacking indepth coverage of her as the subject. LibStar (talk) 10:01, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
