WP:BLP, edging dangerously into résumé territory rather than properly encyclopedic style, of a person who has not held any position that would get him past WP:NPOL, but rather is "notable" only as a member of various boards and committees almost all at the county level. In addition, the article cites not a single shred of reliable source coverage — its "referencing" consisted solely of inappropriate inline text links to the primary source webpages of certain specific organizations named within the article, rather than to any media coverage of those organizations or Castro's role within them. I'm certainly willing to consider withdrawing this if the sourcing can be improved enough to get him past WP:GNG, but he is not entitled to keep this. Delete.

 * Delete - No references, no elected office. Not sure where one is supposed to find notability.  Fails to meet WP:GNG.--Rpclod (talk) 04:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This three-year-old article makes no claim to notability, fails WP:NOTEBLP for lack of coverage. Would seem to qualify as an A-7 for speedy deletion, but let us give it full discussion. The article was created on 22 June 2011‎ by SPA Johnscaili, with additions by SPAs Anthonyweis and Nickfiladelfo. --Bejnar (talk) 17:17, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep only if references from reliable sources are included to show notability. He was appointed by the NJ governor to offices; there must be some coverage of that. Who is willing to add sources? Effort should be made to add sources, otherwise delete. Strawberrie Fields (talk) 21:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find an significant coverage. In the three years since the article was created it doesn't look like anyone else has either. --Bejnar (talk) 02:51, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
