editAmbassadors are not default notable. The article on Dmitri Pozhidaev has very weak sourcing, and mainly assets that whatever major roles Pozhiadaev may have played are unknown to the public. So this seems like an article built on ignorance, and not a needed article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- This is an interesting one. I agree with your general point that the assertion that "he had a role in a major event but that the scope of his role is unknown due to Soviet archives being closed" is not a great assertion of notability. Moreover, a search of Newspapers.com comes up with zero (possibly due to spelling variations?). On the other hand, there are brief references in a couple books about his role in the Six Day War. E.g., here and here and here. Cbl62 (talk) 15:05, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
