Delete The Japanese wiki article does not provide anything that points towards notability. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy I agree the subject isn't notable just now but I'd like the closing admin to put this in my userspace so I can work on it over the next few years. Chris Troutman (talk) 05:08, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom -fails WP:ANYBIO. Dan arndt (talk) 08:38, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy per Chris Troutman's request. Ambassadors are accepted as notable if they can be reliably sourced over WP:GNG, but they are not accepted as automatically notable just because they exist, if their mere existence is all you can actually reference. Normally I'd just vote to delete, but since Chris is willing to adopt this with an eye to possibly salvaging it, he should be given that opportunity.
