Pierre-Louis Boitel[edit]

Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and notability criteria for politicians and judges. The only source in the article is a captioned picture and I can not find anything else in reliable sources. Jbh ^Talk 21:19, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently searching for news articles directly. Thank you for your concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigleybr (talk • contribs) 21:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Liberland doesn't even have an established diplomatic relationship with the country that Boitel is supposedly "ambassador" to — which makes him not a real "ambassador" in the conventional sense, but merely a personal friend of the micronation's "president" who was given a courtesy "title" just because he happens to live in France. However, diplomats are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist, even in real established countries with real diplomatic recognition — and they are definitely not presumed notable if they're the "ambassadors" of virtually unrecognized micronations. Ambassadors are accepted as notable enough for articles if they can be properly sourced as the subject of enough reliable source coverage about them to clear GNG, but not if their only "source" is a photograph on a non-notable photographer's self-published personal website.

Delete not enough reliable secondary sources to satisfy GNG. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 03:14, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
