Vincent Hanna (Character)[edit]

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

Biography of a fictional character written entirely in an in-universe style and recapitulating information already available in the film article. Furthermore, all the references are from imdb, a nonreliable source, and it is unlikely reliable sources could be found. Simply put, there is no reason for an article about this character.

weak delete. Not an Othello... forgettable film, average performance. Why weak? The character was discussed in books (smile, there are books on Michael Mann's films) .. described as "the poorest communicator. Would anyone waste their time on "the poorest communicator", ever?

keep Landmark film, noteworthy main character, stellar performances all around, notable for multiple reasons including it being the first time pacino and de niro were in the same film and shared the screen. While the article itself may not be the best written, it can and should be improved vs. outright deleted. Also not the first nor last character page to be created on WP.

Delete - the alleged landmark status of the film does not mean that its individual characters are notable independently. Sources appear to discuss the character only in terms of the film and do not establish that the character is separately notable. The characters can be adequately described in the film's article.
