Deletion of Barbara Richardson (diplomat)

Comment: Regardless of whether she has presumptive notability, she has demonstrable notability per . She has received significant (i.e. more than passing) coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the the subject (see above). The articles specifically report on her speeches, her campaigns and her activities. A simple GNews search turns up dozens of additional articles, some passing and some significant. Some might argue that such coverage is routine for an ambassador, but that argument simply supports a claim of presumptive notability

Comment: Being the head of a diplomatic mission does not make the holder of the office notable per se. Some ambassadors or high commissioners do indeed  subsequently  hold senior posts in their respective foreign ministry or even ministerial or international diplomatic posts (e.g. at the United Nations) which often makes them notable nationally and/or internationally. This person did not hold any such post, as far as I have been able to establish, nor was she the head of a ''major'' diplomatic mission. All diplomatic missions are not equal. Some are more important than others,  some are rated higher than others. For example,  Washington, Moscow, London, Beijing or New Delhi are among the plum missions for diplomats from any country, whatever their rank. Bangladesh, Angola and Zimbabwe are not in the same league. However,  local newspapers, wherever the mission may be, often carry reports on the activities of ambassadors and other diplomatic personnel at an embassy in their country. Such reports, like those  cited in this article, are not really valid references for notabilty purposes and  do not mean that this diplomat or others in her situation are notable or  meet the  criteria
