Secondly, government decrees can be used as secondary sources as if you can type the full name in a Russian, many sources will pop up, (in Russian of course), apart from the official government statement.  Here's my third point, he is the ambassador to Mozambique, the highest office of any diplomat in office.  Would you delete the ambassador of the United States of Mozambique for that reason?  Ivan Milenin ( talk ) 02:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] he is the ambassador to Mozambique, the highest office of any diplomat in office Ambassadors are not inherently notable, several hundred have been deleted.
