The result was delete. Due to notability concerns. The sources provided apparently do not satisfy GNG either. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 08:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:BIO and WP:DIPLOMAT, simply being an consul for a country does not confer automatic notability. Dan arndt ( talk) 01:49, 1 September 2016 (UTC) reply

• delete being an ambassador is not inherently notable, a consul less so. the award of ""International Businessman of The Year Award" awarded by Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce " is hardly noteworthy. LibStar ( talk) 02:35, 1 September 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Not enough sources found.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:13, 3 September 2016 (UTC) Keep Sources here and here and here and here. Meets the general notability guideline.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:17, 3 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Tomwsulcer, achieving a 'Stevie Award' is hardly notable, given that you have to pay to be an entrant in the awards, for which there is over 50 categories and the organisation itself even admits that approximately 40% of all entrants win. As pointed out by LibStar the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber Of Commerce awards are also hardly notable. Take away those and all you are left with is that he is a consul, which doesn't confer automatically notability. Dan arndt ( talk) 01:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Dan arndt, I don't think it matters about the award or his position -- rather, the media coverage suggests he meets the general notability guideline.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 12:33, 4 September 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete Simply being a consul is not an indication of notability. The coverage in reliable sources is about being appointed the honorary consul but nothing else. The little coverage about the awards seems to be redressed press releases. 2 of the sources 1 and 2 seem to be from the same website which doesn't seem like a reliable source. I don't think this is notable at this time. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 02:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete -- a non-notable diplomat; sources offered above are insufficient to meet GNG. With the coverage of the Stevie award, this is no RS at all (since you do have to pay to enter, and it's my understanding that almost anyone can win, as there are multiple levels within each category).
