fails WP:BIO. the only coverage I could find merely confirmed she was ambassador. being from a "major country" does not grant inherent notability either LibStar (talk) 23:25, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

*Delete. References are limited to primary sources (Australian government). Notability requires citation in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. WWGB (talk) 00:22, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep, WP:HEY, this may have looked more difficult to source than it is because there are lots of Anne Plunketts in the world. But if you limit searches with words like Ireland: lots of sources on this one. I've added a few of the news sources that come up on search engines. There are many more in which she appears at diplomatic events, shows up on national memorial days in the places she has served, sits on panels discussing stuff, etc. Note particularly the more personal interview in The Catholic Weekly, at least, as personal as an ambassador gets. It's pretty anodyne stuff. Irish papers have run entire long news interviews about things like tourism to Australia from Ireland, and how wonderful Irish/Aussie friendship is. yawn. I put in one or two more interesting tidbits, and sourced specifics. Long article in BBC at time of her appointment to Ireland lists every post she ever held. I didn't copy it all into article. She has done her job right, if that means avoiding controversy, notoriety, even colorful speech. But ambassadorial appointments are notable, and I believe that the extensive coverage (going back to her days at lower ranks) shows that she is.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

:: "But ambassadorial appointments are notable" no they're not, several ambassador articles have been deleted. "she has done her job right" is irrelevant to her notability. LibStar (talk) 22:59, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

:::Right. What I meant to say was that ambassadorial appointments are viewed as significant by the world at large, and therefore contribute to WP notability which is established by the interviews with her and coverage of her activities in the press, although only if you use powerful search engines like proquest, if you use google news - not so much.
