Jorge Castillo (cook)[edit]

I e-mailed this guy asking for him to inform me about the history of a oparticular soda company famous in Peru.Thats how he found out about our project. The fact it was written by an anon tells me it could be a vanity page made by himself. Delete "Antonio Get away from the Bull! Martin"

I've added the {{subst:vfd}} header that AntonioMartin forgot. Co-author of a book that appears to be real. But the standard caution on autobiography applies. Weak keep, if the facts check out. Uncle G 14:08, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)
Keep. The book and Food Network appearances are real. The book was published in Oct. 2004, but I suppose its existence, combined with the multiple TV appearances, makes him reasonably noteworthy. However, we may need a disambiguation: there's also a Jorge Castillo who is a Spanish surrealist painter and sculptor, and who is probably better known than Jorge Castillo the Cuban cook.

- And an actor from Puerto Rico, who is the brother of Braulio Castillo, hijo and son of Braulio Castillo. "Antonio Woody Lightyear Martin"
  - In this case, I'm going to go ahead and disambiguate; I'll be outlining the article on the painter shortly. I trust someone more knowledgeable about the actor will handle that one. Shimeru 22:38, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Writing a cookbook and appearing on TV is no big deal. Wile E. Heresiarch 13:05, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
