Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/N. Balasubramaniam
The attempt to delete all ambassador articles which don't have in depth coverage shows the discrepancies we have when it comes to notability of biographical articles. Some Wiki projects have taken it upon themselves to give certain groups of individuals low thresholds of notability and as result we have thousands of articles of individuals who have little in depth coverage and would not meet . For example,  have come up with  which means an individual can qualify for an article simply by having played a first class cricket match. Unfortunately no Wiki project has come forward to say that all ambassadors are notable. As a result, according to Wikipedia policies, an ambassador isn't notable but a cricketer is notable, even if they have only played a single first class match (not an international) and scored a duck. The lack of coverage does not mean the individual isn't notable, just that the online resources are biased in favour of Anglophone speakers. An American/British/Canadian/Australian/New Zealand ambassador to France and Singapore would have in depth coverage and would qualify for an article. But a Sri Lankan ambassador doesn't. We need a consistent approach to notability across ''all'' articles, not target certain groups for deletion
