Retired Sergeant Major with no significant decorations, awards or honors. Lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS necessary to meet WP:GNG. The claim to notability of being the First Hispanic Sergeant Major and first Sergeant Major of the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines since its reactivation is too narrow to justify inclusion.

 * Keep - Being the first Hispanic Sergeant Major and first Sergeant Major of the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines is just as notable if he were of another race or nationality. Tony the Marine (talk) 17:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * We don't have pages for the first Sergeant Major of other states/territories/ethnic groups/nationalities. Mztourist (talk) 03:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The Marines currently have 31 active battalions in the infantry alone, being the "first" for a specific battalion is not particularly notable. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:25, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
