 * We usually keep articles about verified general officers per WP:SOLDIER. Is there any reason why a Malaysian major-general should be treated differently from an American or British one? Phil Bridger (talk) 09:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well it’s not clear to me that the rank of Major General gives an automatic pass on notability. Is that the case? It’s also not clear to me from the article whether his role was local or national. He ‘has been credited’ with success but was not promoted, according to our single source. So as I said, notability seems doubtful to me. If the consensus is that being a Major General automatically demonstrates notability that’s fine, but otherwise I’m not convinced notability is clear.
