• Keep. Hay meets WP:ANYBIO through her achievements in the British diplomatic corps. She single-handedly opened a new British Consulate General in St. Petersburg after the 1991 coup.[1] She was also the first female Consul General in Istanbul and the first female ambassador in Tashkent. She also meets WP:BASIC as the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources (e.g. BBC America). gobonobo ^{+ c} 16:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
