Fails WP:BIO. There is no inherent notability of ambassadors. There's a professor of art of the same name and a leader of a bus drivers union called Jean-Claude that comes up in coverage. LibStar (talk) 15:38, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the link given in the article is dead and a search for his surname at www.international.gc.ca finds nothing. He seems to fail WP:RS and GNG. Gbawden (talk) 19:04, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I had a look on the net and found several other functions he served in, a citation and a publication and added them. I think he is notable enough to have an article. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 20:02, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "sourcing" here is all primary, with not a reliable source in the bunch. Diplomats can be notable if they cite enough sources to pass WP:GNG, but are not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because they are diplomats. Delete if the sourcing doesn't significnatly improve by close. Bearcat (talk) 01:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
