BLP tagged for notability since July. Opinions vary on the notability of ambassadors and this subject seems fairly weak to me, so bringing here for consensus. Mccapra (talk) 20:30, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:NPOL, Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This appears to be a political appointment made at the national level, so this would be a national office. There is some English-language coverage of Aviran (such as the Atlanta Jewish Times, Chatanooga Times-Free Press, and Advance Media's Alabama affiliate) and he's apparently won state-level awards from both Georgia Holocaust Commission and South Carolina's legislature. I think there's enough to write an article on him from these and other sources, so I don't see a reason to delete if he meets WP:NPOL. I have not checked Hebrew-language sources because I have no Hebrew language skills. However, I'd suspect that there is probably additional coverage in Hebrew-language sources that would help expand the article further beyond what we have in English. — Mhawk10 (talk) 07:03, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
