Nothing more than a CV listing his work illustrating comics, no attempt to explain Castillo's claim to notability. However, he's regularly trotted out at Comicons so has some sort of fan base, maybe there's something I'm missing here. In my view, working as an illustrator of comics shouldn't be a fast-track to a Wikipedia profile. Sionk (talk) 11:43, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. He worked on some popular projects but nobody has written about Castillo in reliable sources (passing mentions). The most notable is the Batman comic but that was a collaborative effort with a couple dozen artists. He's illustrating a Kickstarter graphic novel 100 Days of Death that might be made into a film in 2014, could become notable with that. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:14, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Green Cardamom. The chap has been working in the industry since 1989, but I can't find anything special that makes him notable. Seems to be working mostly in DC Comics scope_creep talk 20:59 12 October 2013 (UTC)
