Comment: Doesn't meet WP:DIPLOMAT. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 15:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Article was deleted from Hebrew Wikipedia in October, following this AFD discussion there. HEwiki and ENwiki appear to have different standards for diplomatic notability, but there's an essay on diplomatic notability at WP:DIPLOMAT. Wikishovel (talk) 08:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for sharing!The ENwiki guidelines state that the head of a mission is worthy. This differs from the HEwiki guidelines. Meir was head of the mission both in Houston and in Toronto.
