sufficient argument to claim a lack of wp:notability without also claiming that WP:N is not met by other means—else WP:IAR must be invoked. (3) Failure to meet wp:notability means that we wouldn't have a standalone article, so it is not a cause for deletion, it is a cause to consider to what topic to merge the reliable material. (4) Being asked questions by multiple reliable sources in the US, India, and Latin
America; means that the topic "attracts attention", which is one of the fundamental understandings of what makes a topic wp:notable. Regards,
503:, many of which I have found to be returning 404 errors. This line of argument would still have to work through the newer references that can be found at Google news including those dated 14Sep2011, and dismiss the copies of the 404 errors, saved by R Viswanathan, as not having a reliable publisher. Even after going down this road, we would be left with a question as to where to merge the remaining material, not a delete.
667:, U.S. ambassador to Russia-- all that you'll find on a career diplomat like Beyrle are his writings and various documents associated with his everyday work as ambassador. His notability, like that of Abdullayev and R Viswanatha, derives from being at the top of his profession. Career diplomats generally aren't newsmakers who attract biographical works in the press.
428:: this is just a CV dressed up as an encyclopedia article. The sources provided are not enough to establish notability. Most of them are written by the subject, and the two that aren't do not amount to substantial coverage. The second source is the Indian Consulate, so not very independent of its subject, the coverage is only one line, and has been

48:. Reasonable minds often differ on whether sources are sufficient to establish a subject's notability. It's especially the case when there are many sources that mention or quote the subject but not so many that are actually about him. Here, reasonable minds differ quite evenly and there is no consensus either way.

Delete really isn't a consideration here. The strongest argument that delete proponents can probably make is to claim that WP:GNG can be ignored if WP:DIPLOMAT isn't met, and that WP:DIPLOMAT must be strictly interpreted such that increasing trade between India and

The WP:Notability of a topic exists independently of either the existence of an article about the topic on

Regarding the statement that the topic doesn't meet WP:Diplomat: (1) Why doesn't increasing trade by 40% in nine months meet WP:Diplomat? (I'm not saying that I disagree because I don't know, but if you want to make this claim, what is your evidence?) (2) A failure to meet WP:Diplomat is not a
499:"events of particular diplomatic importance" that we would consider. Then the argument would have to be to where to merge the material; again, the point is that this logic does not lead to a delete. One other possible line of development is to start going through the 40-50 media references on
