Keep. I found some additional references by searching for the person's name, restricted to the country where he was posted. That is, I searched for "Tim Cole" site:cu. This is often the best way to find additional references about an ambassador or other diplomat. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A bit of WP:REFBOMB with 11 citations for one sentence. LibStar (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the added sources are not indepth and not WP:SIGCOV of Cole. [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5] are 1 line mentions of Cole. LibStar (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources provided including those above do not meet WP:SIGCOV. Therefore subject fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 11:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the sources presented in the article don't pass WP:GNG since they're either not secondary or not independent, and are often indiscriminate references to the "British ambassador." SportingFlyer T·C 16:42, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
