Tuco (The Ugly)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This character does not establish notability independent of its film. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 17:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I cannot imagine that this could not be adequately sourced. It's one of the three major characters in one of the most critically acclaimed films of all time. There are pages upon pages of scholarship on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It is inconceivable that, in those pages, there are not sufficient mentions to establish notability.

Merge and Redirect to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The existing article is all plot summary and OR. Karanacs (talk) 15:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, one of the three primary characters of an iconic film. Per Phil Sandifer. Icewedge (talk) 04:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A whole book exists on the movie and discusses the character to a huge extent. [1]. [2] also looks fine, if less detailed. There are tons of these books... Hobit (talk) 02:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
