Too listy

Seems to me this article's list of Stan's "troublesome" behaviour is way too long and needs trimming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.65.242 (talk • contribs)

Go ahead and edit it then :)--5 albert square (talk) 01:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. A great list for a fan site or an "American Dad" wiki...but not for an encyclopedia article. PurpleChez (talk) 20:11, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full name

This page lists Stan's full name as "Stanford Leonard Smith." First off, where exactly does that middle name come from? I haven't heard that before. Second, Stan's full first name is often intentionally swapped between Stanley, Stanford, and Staniel as a joke in the series, and I don't think it's ever confirmed which one is actually his first name, although I do think Stanford is the most likely one due to his wife calling him that before.

So, my question is, due to this full name not being confirmed, should it be removed? And just list his name as Stan Smith instead? His full first name being swapped between 3 different names could be mentioned somewhere on the page, however. R1ch4rd N1x0n (talk) 22:44, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
