Clothes
Is it really neccessary to go into such detail about what Sam and Dean wear?
 * 1) Flannneelllllllll
 * 2) Yes, as it is a full character rundown therefore maximum character detail is typically appropriate.

Personality
Someone needs to do a personality section. I've heard a lot about Dean's self-loathing issues, his dedicance to his father and his and Dean's unhealthy dependance on each other. It's odd that this article explains his history, but not his personality and relations to his family. Sam and John need sections on their personalities too.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 15:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Season four
The information there has very little to do with the character and it seems like it would be more appropriate in the supernatural series section under seasons. Does anyone else agree?Coho (talk) 19:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Appearances Section`
The Impala seems irrelevant to this section. Is there even any need for a section named appearances? Perhaps rename the section "Notable Episodes about Dean" and just leave the list. "Below is a list of notable Dean episodes" is unnecessary because it is obvious; the list is titled "Notable Episodes about Dean". "However, most episodes are either focused on Sam or Dean... or sometimes both." the break in this sentence is very unencyclopedic. I'm going to make some changes and lets see what we think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Storer90 (talk • contribs) 07:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

I think you did a good job on the page but maybe you should have added more information about Dean emotionally like where/who the real Dean is!


 * Dean's relationship to the Impala is actually a pretty major character point with Dean- it's a link to his father, and, particularly after he rebuilt it, he's incredibly protective of it- his position as the major driver of the car cements his position as "big brother" and, to some extent the "leader" of him and Sam- this divide, with John as Captain and Dean as Sargeant, becomes less noticeable as the series continues, as evidenced by Sam's increased driving of the car. It might sound silly and like I'm reading into it, but there's a reason the Impala is often seen as the third main character! With how much time the brothers spend in it and how much unspoken emotion is resolved through interacting with the car, interms of Dean, especially, who hates talking about his feelings, it's vastly relevant.Himynameishelen (talk) 02:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

"Notable episodes about Dean" section
I'm not really sure what constitutes a "notable episode about Dean", but in any event the section seems to violate the no original research policy. Unless you can cite a reliable source that lists which episodes are notable Dean episodes, the section doesn't belong here. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:05, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

If I'm correct, an episode itself can be used as a source or reference. These episodes show important info about the character and plot developement for the show. Many are referenced in the text of the article themselves. Therefore how can they be considered original research?Largoss (talk) 18:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, episodes can be used as references, but deciding if an episode is more notable for one character than another would be original research without a reliable source. BOVINEBOY 2008 18:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The episodes themselves don't classify themselves as being somehow a Dean-centric storyline. As a hypothetical example, if at the beginning of the episode at the bottom of the screen there flashed the text "this is a notable Dean episode" then that could be cited. But as far as I am aware, there is nothing in the episodes themselves that could be cited in this way. Your interpretation of the episode plot being notable about Dean in some way is the original research. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Then by that interpretation why isnt everything about Dean put on here like, the names of every girl hes slept with who is mentioned once and never seen again or every girl he flirts with, what time he woke up in different episodes, a detailed list of what he at everytime he is shown eating/ Stuff like that would be waistful hence why they are not added, and only important, impactful stuff. Where do the important facts come from interviews and facts said by the creator, but also the episodes themselves. Episodes themselves that reveal that would be notable and if they are not how come they are important enough to be listed in the article itself? Its not original research. However, would it be more condusive to everyone if these episodes were added to the reference section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Largoss (talk • contribs) 19:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what your getting at. You may run into another problem with POV; deciding for yourself that one episode is more important to Dean than others can boil down to your opinion. BOVINEBOY 2008 19:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And besides that, the section isn't really helpful to the reader and doesn't really belong in a quality wikipedia article. It would never pass a good article nomination with that kind of section in it. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Birthday
Do we know who figured out Dean's birthday? Was that stated in an episode? I'd love to know which episode or where that date was derived. Kudos to whomever figured this out! (: DeWinter79 19:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * yeah we really do, and please try to take a look again on the episode 1.15 the benders. may you still remember, Dean stole an ID from the officer Washington, and use that ID to cheat the female cop Katherine to check on whether Sam is on missing list or not. the female cop searched for the name Winchester and thus found both sam and dean on the list, and the list shown basic information about them such as weight and height and also the DOB clearly. meaningless 18:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Dean Winchester also has a son; his daughter was listed but, not his son. His son's name is Ben. He and his mother don't currently remember Dean but, that's only because Dean had castiel erase all thier memories of him so they weren't in danger any longer.

Ben wasn't his. Lisa stated she ran a DNA test on him. He wasn't Dean's.

I'm pretty sure he is Dean's; I'll check around. I'm pretty sure that Lisa had lied at the end of "The Kids are Alright" when she said Ben wasn't Dean's (realizing that Dean probably wouldn't stick around). And why would Dean stick around for a year at the end of season 6 if Ben wasn't his? I'll check and get back to you.--Supernaturalfringe (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

No, he stuck around because he loved her and the kid. She says at the end of the episode she is first introduced that he wasn't heres but he did save him. Then in season six episode two or three she says that she wanted someone who could be like a father to him. Hes notOdoital25 (talk) 04:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC).

Adam Milligan status
There seems to be some confusion over whether or not Adam Milligan is deceased. This confusion stems from the show often bringing characters back to life after having been dead and in hell (or heaven). Adam is currently in hell and therefore is deceased. Perhaps he will be brought back to life later in the show, or perhaps not, but we can't assume he will be brought back to life. He is currently in hell and therefore deceased. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

There is no confusion. He was alive and taken to hell. He was not killed. Therefore, alive. Your adding OR.

Also, never established the only way to get to heaven or hell is if your dead. That's an OR argument. Further, if we use this argument then: angels can only posses a body that has given consent. Unlike demons can't possess a dead body. Angels are shown to be able to be in heaven. It is established in season four Angels layed seige to hell. Those they can go to either one. Adam was the vessel of Michael, meaning he was alive. Those he can go to heaven or hell and not be dead. However, this is a fan argument based on your interpriation. He was never stated to be dead. He was dead in season four and brought back in season five. He was sucked into hell trying to fight the devil. These are the facts that were shown. It was never shown he was dead, or stated by anyone he died again. Therefore, you can't add that he's deceased because that is speculation.


 * Adam and Sam were both sucked into heal at the same time. Afterwards, Sam is considered to be dead in the show, therefore Adam must be considered dead also. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Um, no he wasn't. Never said he was dead in the show. Fans just considered him as such. Wiki isn't about fan opinion its about facts that can be cited. Your adding speculation


 * I'm not speculating. I can cite facts for you that Dean and Bobby clearly thought Sam was dead when he went to hell.
 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoVHDL1fZC0 At 3:00 mark, Dean speaking to Sam: "I wanted my brother, alive."
 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBu2dIyHJco  At the 0:55 mark, Dean speaking to Bobby: "You knew, you knew Sam was alive."
 * So, Sam was clearly presumed dead when he fell into hell. And as Adam fell into hell at the exact same time and manner, he must be presumed dead also. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Sam travelled to hell in Taxi Driver through the 'back door' and was alive and well when he returned. Fandom will deny Adam is dead because he's not. Sam and Dean have not made reference to Adam being dead, so therefore - he is alive. Just being totured by two angry archangels in hell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.135.146.2 (talk) 00:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Given that it is LITERALLY the last second of the S9 finale, is there a way to mark the spoiler under Species, as he is now a demon? KurosakisTwin (talk) 23:19, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Spoilers are not a concern on Wikipedia. See WP:SPOILER. Even if it was not in the infobox, it would remain in the article itself. However, I'm not sure on multiple 'species' being listed in the infobox. For example, Castiel is only listed as an angel. Plus none of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters have more than one species in their infoboxes. That may be worth discussing. -- ‖  Ebyabe  talk -   General Health   ‖ 00:28, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

In the season three description the following sentence is very confusing/does not make sense / does not have verb subject agreement Learning Lilith to have taken the throne of Hell from Azazel and to hold Dean's life contract in her hands, the brothers eventually confront her. My interpretation Is that it supposed to read Learning that Lilith has taken the throne of HELL, (from Azazel) and that she is now the Demon who holds Dean's Contract; Sam and Dean set out to (and eventually do) confront and/or kill her. This statement makes the next sentence (that begins When they fail to kill her...) make sense compared to the rest of the paragraph

Full protection edit request on 1st January, 2021
It is requested that Dean Winchester's page be fully protected due to constant editing war happening at the moment due to fanon and canon knowledge. It is not known if Destiel is real due to the ambiguous side that the writers took and due to Dean Winchester's past heterosexuality. Therefore love interests shouldn't be included in the family part of this page until actual concrete evidence is shown. But since editors keep constantly changing details and causing confusion in the community, it may be for the best that Dean Winchester's page be fully protected. Tumblr isn't a reliable source for evidence.

While Castiel was a friend of Dean's, there is absolutely no evidence in canon to support the notion that they were ever lovers. Wikipedia needs to be factual, not cater to the fantasies of slash fiction fans. Perhaps the Destiel slash fic needs to be discussed over on the fan fiction page, if there is one. --Felinefury (talk) 21:43, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Misha Collins, actor of Castiel literally confirms it’s a homosexual love declaration and so does the literal scripts of the scene. If you continue to deny a homosexual relationship when it’s literally canon you’re just homophobic. Outlawedredhood (talk) 16:13, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

While it is factual that Castiel expressed romantic love for Dean Winchester in episode 5.18, Dean's feelings were never revealed nor has it been confirmed in continuity or in supplemental show materials that these two characters were in a romantic relationship. It was also not confirmed in the show or supplemental materials that Dean is gay or bisexual.

The romantic partner should be changed to Castiel as it's presented in the season 15. Some proof: Lucifer always presents himself to people in their romantic partners as we have seen since the season 4 with Sam (dead girlfriend), Nick (dead wife), Vince (dead girlfriend), and then Dean as Cas (dead..... boyfriend). In season 15, you can hear Dean saying Cas that he loves him when they are in Purgatory. In the season 13 we have Dean's grieving widow arc as a proof to that. We also have a ton of mirrors to romantic couples (Dean/Castiel, Sam/Eileen: both use right after each other the same "we are real" sentences). Sam bodily drags Dean out of Apocalypse World while he's screaming after Castiel which again is a mirror to season 1 where Dean does the same to Sam with his girlfriend Jess. Also, 15x18 has a love confession scene.

Please fix this.

Also, fix Dean's sexuality into bisexual as there is a ton of evidence. Here is a list of evidence for you:

Edit war on Dean's sexuality
Recently there was a wiki edit war over Dean Winchester's sexuality, here and on the articles List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters‎, List of LGBT characters in television and List of LGBT characters in film, radio, and TV fiction‎. I engaged one of the participants off-wikipedia, and they asked if it were possible include to a section on this article about fan interpretation on his sexuality. The meta fan articles that were offered:, , , , and. I'm aware these are self-published sources, but I thought I'd put this here for the record, in case the topic is brought up again.

Deans sexuality was confirmed in the show by the character and has never changed.His heterosexual and should not be misrepresented for shipping convenience. KiaraT789 (talk) 13:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Semi-Protected family member restoration request
As stated in the show, Castiel is Dean's family/best friend. Removing the character due to fan editing wars is unsound. We don't have any official word (beyond it being up for interpretation) on Dean's reaction to Castiel's love confession. As a compromise, may I suggest this possible entry: "Castiel: Family, Best Friend, (Ambiguous)" or possibly "Castiel: Family, Best Friend, (Romantically Ambiguous)" for the sake of reader clarity." User:HikariTennyo

I think it’s important to stick to canon or it gets messy. Best friend is accurate. That’s what Dean calls him. He had plenty of time to show or state any other feelings for Cas and he did neither. It’s safe to say Cas’ romantic love is unrequited. Dogsncats9245 (talk) 06:35, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Except he HAS been called FAMILY as well. If we're splitting hairs, one could call him a "brother" Regardless of romantic status which IS AMBIGUOUS. Claiming anything less than FAMILY is disingenuous. User:HikariTennyo

I agree that family is good too. Although I believe it was listed under Family, so it’s implied and if you put Brother, that’s misleading/confusing because they’re not actual brothers. I think best friend is the most accurate, clearest way to put it. Many men call their best friend “brother.” Dean’s feelings for Cas are not ambiguous. He’s clearly told him he’s his best friend and like a brother. I don’t want to argue with a shipper about this. I’m only interested in accuracy. Dogsncats9245 (talk) 07:16, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

"As stated in the show, Castiel is Dean's family/best friend." that's the most accurate description for their friendship. KiaraT789 (talk) 13:02, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Going to overall agree with User:HikariTennyo here - the only accurate, unbiased way to present the information given is "Ambiguous" since it's simply never addressed, that's what's canon. The character's previous comments are from years before and are reflected in Castiel's comments from the same time about Dean (despite his declaration being confirmed romantic) so that unfortunately doesn't stand to clear things up, and the only "official" commentary has been that it's up for interpretation (as per Jensen Ackles, the character's actor). Until there are any more "official" statements on this, what's certain is that Castiel is Dean's Best Friend/Brother and that their relationship beyond that is Ambiguous. That doesn't favour anyone, it's just simply an accurate summary of what's been presented/discussed and should hopefully resolve the editing war. AutomaticYardam (talk) 14:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Castiel should be listed in Dean's Winchester family as BEST FRIEND. Dean Winchester has repeatedly stated that Cass is family and that he truly is his best friend. For example check season 15 episode 9 but this is just one. Dean Winchster's page SHOULD be inclusive, and ERASE one important character such as CASTIEL, just because some shippers cannot BEHAVE, it's disappointing, to say the least.

What is going on? How are people being allowed to list Cas as Dean’s husband? That is clearly untrue.I thought this was protected. Dogsncats9245 (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

put Castiel back into the family section, while I’d rather he be put as a love interest or even a partner, he should at least be a part of Dean’s family because he’s said it himself, “Cas is family”
