Talk:Juan Rico

message: Here   is a list of possible sources for the article,
some with non-trivial critical discussion of Juan Rico and his role in the book/film. I think this is sufficient to demonstrate notability (or, at the very least, to make deletion controversial enough that it needs to go through  AFD), but have no time right now to go through them and use them to rewrite the
article. Hopefully, they'll be useful to other interested editors. Scog (talk) 08:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible sources 

message: He's clearly Filipino. So why is the page categorized under Fictional Argentinians? I know that the ridiculous movie based from the book made Juan Rico an Argentinian but the discussion in this page clearly refers to Juan Rico of the book.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.205.28.221 (talk) 14:06, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Starship-Troopers---rico.jpg

message: I have today removed a "proposed deletion" box added to this article a few hours ago. The subject of the article is the protagonist of an award-winning novel and a series of films. In general, it is helpful to have summary articles for characters who appear in several different fictional presentations: Ender Wiggin and Harry Potter (Character) both have their own articles, as do Elizabeth Bennet and Scrappy Doo. Further, Rico is an important example of Heinlein's treatment of non-caucasian heroes: he is (by a long way) the earliest example of a Filipino hero in a major SF work. This article has been slowly developing for several years, and will no doubt continue to do so. There's certainly no compelling reason to delete it. RomanSpa (talk) 15:37, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: , Wikipedia articles are supposed to have content referenced from secondary sources. Damien Thorn#Analysis is one such example. Is there similar coverage for this character? Erik (talk | contribs) 15:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

text: I'm not a specialist, but without too much effort I was able to find discussion in critical works by Slusser, Panshin and Gifford. The first section of this Talk Page lists further sources. I also noticed some interesting college study notes, comparing Rico with his counterparts in other military SF books. There seems to be adequate coverage.
