Does not meet notability guidelines for people, Wikipedia:Notability (people). Especially this UN civil servant has not been the subject of substantial coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Being spokesperson for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is not sufficient. (The article was speedied, then recreated). Delete. Edcolins 10:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, as being a UN civil servant seems notable. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 14:25, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I must respectfully disagree. "The United Nations employs more than 14,000 people serving in different parts of the world", all being civil servants. [1] I suppose you don't want to have an article on Wikipedia for each of the 14,000 employees? --Edcolins 16:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The source doesn't even say anything about him, just lists him as a contact. - Revolving Bugbear 18:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for being a mouthpiece of the Global Collectivist Conspiracy that is the UN, also for being non-notable as a UN civil servant. Eddie.willers 03:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
