Delete. Neither diplomats nor writers get an automatic "inherent" notability freebie just because their own self-published websites about themselves technically verify that they exist. Notability requires reliable sources, independent of the subject, to externally validate the significance of their work by writing about and analyzing it in the third person, and is not automatically extended to just everybody who has the ability to metaverify their own biography by virtue of self-publishing their own website.
