Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jorge Orrico” as uruguayan deputy, actor and lawyer (born 1946). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1946, 2001, 1971, 1994—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1946-10-25. The account is most persuasive where Jorge, Orrico and Uruguayan can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as uruguayan deputy, actor and lawyer (born 1946). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6278415. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1946, 2001, 1971 and 1994.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
