fails WP:BIO. ambassadors are not inherently notable even if you are ambassador to Russia. he gets zero gnews coverage for his name in English. I tried searching his name in Russian and all I could find is a few small one line mentions.

here we go again. Maybe you can actually look for sources which you never do in ambassador AfDs . There is no inherent notability of being ambassador to Russia. Several have been deleted including where you have previously !voted.
And others have been kept, as you know very well! --

But there is no inherent notability of being an ambassador to Russia as you know very well. And each ambassador AfD you make zero attempt to find sources that would establish WP:BIO.

Keep Wikipedia's systemic bias against figures like Attakurov, who is ambassador from a former Soviet Republic to Russia, should give us pause before deleting such figures. We should solicit editors with Russian language skills to find information, which I believe definitely exists based on the importance of his position.--

Delete no evidence in coverage in reliable sources. Wikipedia is not meant to right wrongs, we do not create articles to force change in sources, we create articles that are based in coverage in reliable sources.

Please note that
WP:DIPLOMAT is only an essay and not a widely accepted one at that. It is certainly not in any way approaching a policy or guideline. And how does the article fail
