From my understanding of WP:BIO, a person should have multiple reliable, independent, and secondary sources that offer non-trivial coverage of that person for an article on Wikipedia to exist about the subject. All the sources that I have found that mention Castro, including the source that is cited in the article, are football reports which state that he was a referee for the matches they are reporting on. I believe this is trivial coverage of the person, and I do not believe this article meets WP:BIO as a result. Thank you for reading. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 00:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

::Additional comment I tried to inform the only major contributor, and creator, of this article, SndrAndrss, about this discussion. However, I discovered that this user has been blocked indefinetly from editing Wikipedia. I say this in case people would like to hear a defence of this article by its only major contributor.

  • Keep - analogous to WP:ATHLETE by refereeing a World Cup match he has participated at the highest level as a referee. He also has chaired the Chilean committee of referees and been appointed by FIFA to positions of responsibility.[http://www.cooperativa.cl/p4_noticias/site/artic/20050223/pags/20050223195942.html] He is also FIFA trainer of referees.[http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.accessmylibrary.com%2Fcoms2%2Fsummary_0286-1633519_ITM%3Femail%3Daml3%40terriers.me.uk%26library%3D&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=es&tl=en].

  • Nomination Withdrawn I do not agree that Castro meets WP:ATHLETE, as that guideline, imo, implies that it covers athletes only. However, because Smile a While has discovered two reliable, independent, and secondary sources about Castro, which assert his notability, I believe that the article now meets WP:N, and thus I would like to withdraw my nomination.
