This article does not demonstrate how the individual is notable per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Nearly all of the sources given are run-of-the-mill announcements about corporate goings-on, press releases, or "sponsored post" / "partner content" (basically written by the subject or their marketing department). Perhaps the company BHG Financial is notable enough for an article, so biographical information about the individual founders could go into that article. ... discospinster _talk 18:36, 4 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The article has been adjusted accordingly, with gratitude. To all Wikipedia Wikipedians Jimmy Wales @ JimmyWales @ LarrySanger, et al, with respect my witnessing of the recent "judgements" entered over 1. Questions over the relevancy of a page and 2. the outright removal of evidence-supported material to a political page (proof of the editor presenting their intent as being anything but "Neutral), one cannot deny the rightful documentation of a person's LIFE WORKS for we are all here on earth for a purpose. To deny the documentation of one's LIFE WORKS, in my humble opinion, is nothing more than " whitewashing", for the record. FACT IS FACT . TRUTH IS TRUTH. History is the collective documentation of FACTUAL TRUTHS. As a conscious human being, a journalist who views the role of documentation as being a great responsibility, I stand firmly behind this logical notion of inarguable reason, respectfully.

Early life

Bobby Castro was born in the Bronx, New York to parents Luis and Kathleen Castro. The Castro family, which includes Bobby Castro's brother and fellow co-founding figure behind BHG Financial Eric Castro, migrated to the Hyleah section of Miami, Florida while he was a young child. He dropped out of high school shortly after entering the ninth grade.[6][7]

BHG Financial

In 2001, while attending a financial conference, Bobby and Eric Castro met Al Crawford and joined forces over the company formation of Bankers Healthcare Group (BHG). "We have become experts," Albert Crawford noted to Syracuse, New York media outlet, with respect to the financial services capacity of the BHG company.[8]

On February 4, 2015, it was announced that a major BHG company merger and acquisition with Pinnacle Financial Partners was finalized.[9] Details of the deal revealed Nashville-based Pinnacle paid $75 million in cash and debt for its 30-percent stake in Bankers Healthcare Group (BHG).[10]

Accolades

On June 14, 2012, during a celebratory gala that took place at the Hilton Orlando in commemoration of the annual Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards ceremony,[11] Bobby Castro, Eric Castro and Al Crawford[12] received special recognition over the company's financial services and named Ernst & Young's Florida Entrepreneur Of The Year.[13][14]

Exhibit 2: The 2022 Toronto Mayoral race is a electoral event of the collective Toronto Municipal Election 2022, a Canadian democratic voting process engaged under The Electoral System of Canada,[1] within the Canadian Province of Ontario, specific to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.[2] The political event is set for Monday, October 24, 2022.[3] News reports estimate more than 1.89 million eligible voters in Toronto are expected to cast their ballots to elect one mayor, 25 councillors and 39 Toronto District school board trustees across four Toronto school boards.[4][5]

A total of 30 candidates have been certified by the Toronto’s city clerk to run against Tory in his campaign for another four years at the head of council, noted Issac Callan, a political analyst for Global News.[6] Should Tory be re-elected to continue his service as Mayor of Toronto in the 2022 Municipal Elections of Toronto, he would become the city's the longest-serving Mayor in service since 2014.[7][8] On another note, if the people of Toronto win the bid for Tory-opponent Reginald Tull to be elected Mayor, Reginald Tull will be the first Black Mayor of Toronto, acting in a full time capacity.[9]

On May 2nd, 2022, Reginald Tull was officially nominated candidate for Mayor in service to the people of the City of Toronto.[10] A familiar Black community leader of Toronto, including the city's crime-ridden Regent Park[11] Toronto housing project,[12] Reginald Tull is a native Torontonian, recognized as a noted "Street Preacher"[13] advocating for the disadvantaged and marginalized people of Toronto. He is author of "Memoirs of a Bad Boy: A true story of a young man's struggles, incarceration, and redemption (https://books.google.ca/books/about/

For the record, there are 30 candidates ... I, ~~~ Madam X Media111, legally known as Michele Fralick, have the full, clear and present intent to rightfully list the names of all candidates as it is a historical fact and the article "The 2022 Toronto Mayoral Election" page would not be complete without rightfully doing so, period. However, this is a process that take time to gather and generate all knowledge and citations. So the page as it stands as of this 5th day of October, 2022, is much like that of a page representing a Living Person ... a work in progress ... That stated, to completely remove factual documentation that was input for the record with carefully application, care and extensive research , is not only disrespectful, is reflects malicious intent through an action which has taken the page back to being one-sided and further pulling it back to entirely failing to complete whole picture of the 2022 Toronto Mayoral Election.

----------------------------------------

This is an essential platform. It is a highly respected platform. It is an honor and privilege to serve the role of contributor to this platform. I motion that we as contributor reconsider nit-picking over irrelevant questioning (ie whether or not the factual works of one Robert Castro should or should not be documented: a real person whose life works (substantial life works, matter), that energy would be better spent on the recent, obvious biased editorial action 2022 Toronto Mayoral Election, a page which should rightfully reflect a democratic electorial process involving 30 Mayoral candidates, one of whom will hopefully be voted in in a fair, just, democratic manner ... for the purpose of serving the people of Toronto ... a city that is failing to address a homeless epidemic (I, personally, can speak to that being one who was homeless for nearly five months during the year 2021 in Toronto, my birthplace), a city that is ridden with gun violence, a city that lacks affordable housing, a city that lacks affordable groceriers to support a vegan diet (I personally can attest to that) ... alll of these are NOT ONLY ONTARIO HUMAN RIGHTS ... CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS & FREEDOMS ,, THEY ARE UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS ... perhaps we should consider the weight of importance of our duty to document that which is fact, that which are LIFE MATTERS, that which is truth ... and be sure to include the WHOLE.

Delete based on the above rant. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a platform for promotion. duffbeerforme ( talk) 07:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC) reply
Delete, ignoring the complaint above, this person fails WP:GNG. Most of the article is sourced to obvious press releases or articles that don't actually mention the subject. While at first glance there are some more reliable sources cited, these articles are marked as sponsored content, and are therefore not independent.
