Disputed prod. Rationale was: "Unsourced BLP, likely hoax. Unable to locate reliable sources to substantiate the article's claims. Details appear to have been lifted (in some cases word-for-word) from Francesca Gagnon article." Muchness (talk) 09:03, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: the article's original author has removed the material copied and pasted from the Francesca Gagnon article (diff) but the sourcing problems remain. --Muchness (talk) 18:18, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - An obvious hoax. No reliable sources connect the name Juan Isidro Matthew Casilla with Cirque du Soleil.  They do, however, reveal "Juan Isidro Casilla" as the perpetrator of a $50,000 advertising hoax back in 2007.   The information in the article looks like a collage of content from articles about other people.  Even the footnote numbers were left in place, though without the footnotes. The user who created the article, CirqueClub, has vandalized the Cirque du Soleil article, overwriting legitimate information with repeated, blatantly spurious mentions of the name Juan Isidro Matthew Casilla. I don't know what this guy's up to, but Wikipedia doesn't have time for it. AtticusX (talk) 18:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete barring massive improvement and some sign of sources. Little in the current version of the article makes sense: the gender changes halfway through the lead, the second section begins with his name tacked on a sentence in a thoroughly ungrammatical fashion. No sources. Hairhorn (talk) 23:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – "toured twelve continents around the world" ?? Gimme a break! This is just pure weapons grade WP:VSCA that does not even come close to meeting WP:BIO or WP:BLP. &mdash; 141.156.161.245 (talk) 23:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax form the known “prankster”. Apparently, he also spread the claim that he was Cirque du Soleil choreographer in 1994 – somehow I doubt that 12 y.o. kid could get this job… Skarebo (talk) 01:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
