Fails WP:BIO. Consensus from previous AfDs shows that ambassadors are not inherently notable. All I could find was one article in Portuguese and another in Spanish merely confirming he's an ambassador. LibStar (talk) 15:51, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

- Delete with caveat Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. Sources in article contain only bare mentions or are not independent. I will reconsider if some independent coverage for his awards can be found. While the awards may allow him to pass WP:ANYBIO passing a specific notability criteria allows but does not require an article to be kept. There must be enough other coverage to justify and sustain an article and in this case there does not appear to be. JbhTalk 13:57, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete for reasons stated by nominator. Also note that there is an article on the Spanish award, including a list of recipients. Shinomiya is not on the list. NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:08, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
