I started to tidy this article up and gave up about a third of the way through. The only independent reliable source is the Economic Times one, I can't find any other reliable sources mentioning him, definitely nothing that would meet WP:GNG. The article is also overly promotional in tone and written like a CV. Sarahj2107 (talk) 13:31, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Withdrawn It still needs more references but now that at lest some have been added and the promotional material removed I am happy to withdraw my nomination. Thank you Samuel J. Howard for cleaning up the article and finding the additional sources. Sarahj2107 (talk) 07:18, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. an ambassador from India to two other countries is going to meet WP:GNG. See [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Pradeep-Kapur-is-new-Indian-Ambassador-to-Chile/articleshow/4014966.cms], [http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/india-asean-car-rally-sparks-paris-dakar-sized-dreams], this Indian article calls him a "luminary" [http://www.newindianexpress.com/prabhu_chawla/columns/South-Block-watch/2013/04/28/article1564591.ece], [http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/Reshuffle+of+Indian+ambassadors+on+the+cards/1/19858.html], [http://www.ilovechile.cl/64th-republic-day-india-celebrated-santiago/]. Presumably there are other sources in Hindi, Spanish, and Cambodian that I'm not equipped to access.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 14:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Not all of these are appropriate sources, but they help demonstrate that ambassadors get wide coverage.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 14:19, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Comment the figure may meet GNG with two reliable sources. However, the article is very problematic as promotional and for lack of citations.--JumpLike23 (talk) 15:31, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

::{{replyto|jumplike23}}I've cleaned it up and added some sourcing.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

::: looking more like a keep now. --JumpLike23 (talk) 16:04, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. Ambassadors are not automatically notable, but are often notable anyway, especially when they come from major countries such as India. I think we now have enough reliable sources for notability, and the removal of the walls of unsourced text is a big improvement. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:19, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
