Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Stronge
per Choess. It would have helped had this article been tagged as a stub in the first place, because it clearly had room for improvement, but it has now been expanded to the point where notability (per  and ) is clearly demonstrated and properly sourced, and there is eviently scope for further expansion.I'm also very disappointed to see some of the way this article is being assessed by some editors. The include-anyone-with-a-title lobby don't have support of the guidelines, but a diplomat at ambassador-level from a powerful nation will frequently have been a notable position, paticularly in the days before air travel. It's depressing to see that the deletionists' apparoach was not ask for more evidence of the significance of the diplomatic role, but to argue for deletion because of the largely irrelevant issue of the title (see Talk:Francis Stronge).I really hope that we are not going to find ourselves back in another long series of these sterile AFD debates, where the pro- and anti-title lobbies try to score points off each other
