Keep. Meets WP:SOLDIER as a brigadier, which is equivalent to general officer rank in countries that use brigadier general. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete while rank satisfies #2 of WP:SOLDIER that is just a presumption of notability, i.e that "they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources." I'm not seeing that for Fernando. Mztourist (talk) 15:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:SOLDIER since 1) he is a General officer and 2) is in command of an army Division. Cossde (talk) 17:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:SOLDIER. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NSOLDIER, but also per the coverage of the not-insignificant international incident that occurs when an arrest warrant is issued for someone on a diplomatic mission. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 14:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but consider refocusing. I see a lot of WP:1E coverage, but whether the article should be refocused can be discussed on the talk page. Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
