This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Is Kounalakis's role in establishing university chairs and lecture series notable?

I'm leaning towards no. Are there any objections to removing that paragraph? Zeldafanjtl (talk) 07:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ambassadorial leaders

Koulanakis' entry as Ambassador to Hungary should contain both the US and Hungarian leaders she served under - Obama as US President, László Sólyom, Pál Schmitt and János Áder as Hungarian Presidents, and Gordon Bajnai and Viktor Orbán as Hungarian Prime Ministers. There are several ambassadors' infoboxes where this is the case - for example, US ambassadors to the UK, which show both the sitting POTUS and the British Prime Minister and Monarch during their tenure.

RFC: Should the Hungarian leaders be included in the infobox?

Should the infobox contain the Presidents and Prime Ministers of Hungary Mrs. Kounalakis served under while she was US Ambassador to Hungary, in addition to Barack Obama as the US President she served under? Glide08 (talk) 20:14, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, as she was appointed to the job by Obama not by said Hungarian leaders.--Hippeus (talk) 11:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"'No, she was never appointed by any of the president or prime ministers of Hungary and we do not mention these in any other ambassador article 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 09:57, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
