fails WP:BIO and WP:DIPLOMAT. being an ambassador does not confer automatic notability. all I could find is 1 line mentions confirming he is an ambassador. LibStar (talk) 02:09, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He seems to be an important Thai diplomat. He was previously Consul General to the United States, ambassador to Burma, ambassador to the UAE, second secretary to the United Nations and currently(?) ambassador to Russia. Generally, ambassadors to major nations like the United States, China or Russia are the most important diplomats of their country. Also appears in the Europa World Yearbook. Given the frequent coverage in English sources on Google, one presumes that there must be more and deeper sources in Thai, Burmese and Russian. Pburka (talk) 03:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

he "seems important" is not a criterion. We need coverage to establish notability. The Thai coverage appears to be one line mentions. LibStar (talk) 03:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Just because he was considered the best diplomat to be posted to the US/Russia doesn't mean he's notable. Otherwise we would have articles on every countries Ambassador to the US/Russia. Being highly regarded within the government, does not mean notable in general. Caffeyw (talk) 00:58, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
