The Vega Brothers (characters)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced orphaned stub about two movie characters. Vic Vega speedily deleted 23 January 2008. Vincent Vega merged to List of Pulp Fiction characters following deletion discussion (Articles for deletion/Vincent Vega), which was later redirected to Pulp Fiction (film) 18 March 2010 following a merge discussion on that page. Any notable details about Vince or Vic Vega are discussed in the Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs articles.  Sottolacqua  (talk) 17:35, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, delete per nom (oh no inclusionists are going to whine about that! Silly me for agreeing!). I patrolled this article, considered deletion, couldn't be arsed dealing with the inevitable nonsense that would ensue. → ROUX   ₪  01:10, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The article lacks a source to support its entire premise -- that these characters from separate movies are brothers. I've heard that idea before, but I thought it was just fan speculation, not canon. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:08, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That the article currently lacks a source is irrelevant to whether it can be sourced. The idea that they are brothers comes from Tarantino himself.    As discussed in Quentin Tarrantino, he was considering a film about them together but gave up on the idea.  This is also mentioned in Pulp Fiction, and should also be mentioned in Reservoir Dogs (if only in a footnote).  But a mention is really all it merits.  I see no substance to justify an article, nor is the title useful as a redirect (The Vega Brothers, sans parenthetical, already redirects to Tarantino's article), so delete.  postdlf (talk) 07:15, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per Postdlf. We have two characters of the same surname that have not actually been paired as brothers, so the only coverage about the pair is the film that Tarantino had hoped to do. That planned film can be covered at the director's article. However, I would be fine with a Vincent Vega article if coverage about Pulp Fiction also covered him in detail. The film has a ton of coverage, though it is hard to tell how much Vincent is profiled in them. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 12:00, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: The fictional characters do not meet the general notability guideline as a stand-alone subject. Jfgslo (talk) 06:49, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. It's an interesting rumor but not basis for an article. To what extent the rumor is out there, it might warrant a mention in the article about Quentin Tarantino. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * As I noted above, it's not original research as the concept that the two film characters are brothers is easily verifiable online as coming from Tarantino himself. He, and at least Madsen as well, have discussed it as a potential film project in multiple interviews, which is already mentioned in Tarantino's article.  So you're calling for the right result, but for the wrong reasons.  postdlf (talk) 16:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
