Stan Thompson
Completely unnecessary and has no potential to become encyclopedic. Rather than an actual character on the show Family Guy, Stan Thompson is nothing more than a placeholder name used in a single gag - not only is the name completely arbitrary, but the topic of Meg's real father is never brought up again in the entire series. In addition, the article causes further confusion because it is linked to by a couple of articles about a same-named unsuccessful U.S. House Of Representatives candidate in 2004. As an ambiguous article with no potential to become encyclopedic, I see no reason for it to remain here. - Chardish 06:41, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, trivial. Megan1967 07:37, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi again, Megan. :)
 * Delete article, trivial. If it must be kept, put it in the Family Guy article, I'm sure there's one around here somewhere. Tygar 09:43, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge with Family Guy. -- R yan!  |  Talk  20:22, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * It's already in Megan Griffin. - Chardish 05:01, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with "U.S. House of Representatives", or just delete. Yeah, that would probably be better. Kevintoronto 20:58, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, cruft. Wyss 01:11, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Cruft, and already in the Meg Griffin article. Don't bother with a redirect for such an obscure one-off gag. Binadot 05:42, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not necessary, all info that this page provides is already included in Meg's page. --Mrmiscellanious 00:41, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
