I put him on the page, honestly because I thought it was kind of neccesary. Even though he is a one time character, he is still an ancestor of Peter. Since he's a one time character, I was having trouble deciding if I should put him under Others or Peter's family. I decided to put him on Peter's family.

I don't believe placing "Ulysses S. Griffin" on this or any page is necessary....

Why is Peter Hitler here? If he's here we should have Moses Griffin and the other one shots. I understand Nate, but P. Hitler isn't a recurring character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.28.70 (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Though it is frequently hinted at, there is no explicit proof Bruce the Performance Artist is gay.

He spoke to a male voice in his house (his own voice) but still. I guess that is still implied though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.231.71 (talk) 04:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should Fjurg be included on this page? He has appeared in "Love Blactually" and "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing" as well as in the extras in the Volume six DVD set. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jzcrandall (talk • contribs) 04:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refresh me on who he is, and what he does. CTJF83Talk 04:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added a merge proposal. I don't watch Family Guy consistently but I have seen a few episodes. If this is in fact a character from the show, then Fjurg Van Der Ploeg should either be merged here or if not notable enough (for this article), then the page should be deleted. - Killiondude (talk) 01:11, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it needs to be merged here. He isn't notable for his own page. CTJF83Talk 01:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's not appropriate for this article either, in my opinion. Appearing in one-off jokes, even if it's on mulitple occasions, still doesn't make you a character. He's been deleted. Saget53 (talk) 22:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By that kind of thinking, Bruce (Both Kaplan and the Performance Artist), The greased up deaf guy, Al Harrington, Buzz Killington, Carl, Ernie the Chicken, The Bottomtooths, Jim Kaplan, Phineas and Barnaby, Seamus, Steve, Shauna Parks, Sarah, and Craig Hoffman should be removed.

Don't we need New Brian? He was a very main character in The Man with Two Brians, so don't you think he deserves to be added to this page. Should he be added to Griffin Family section or other character section.(Zach Benjamin (talk) 23:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

Single-episode characters aren't listed. It is sufficient to list "New Brian" in the episode article. / edg ☺ ☭ 12:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be one set of rules that are enforced instead of having one set of rules with users doing the total opposite. If you don't want to list single-episode characters, then alot of current characters listed on the page need to go, including Todd, Fluffy, Seabreeze, O'Brian, Coco, Anna, and some more. These characters were either mentioned in or appeared in 1 episode, and have the same or less time in the show as New Brian. As I said before, there needs to be one set of rules that are enforced instead of having one set of rules with users doing the total opposite. MOOOOOPS (talk) 08:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed any characters I can find that aren't mentioned in more than one episode and don't have other significance. If anyone can find others, please remove them. Graymornings (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should we remove Patrick Pewterschmidt? He only appeared in The Fat Guy Strangler and hasn't been mentioned in more than one episode Graymornings? And what about Fjurg Van Der Ploeg? He's on this page and only appeared in Tales of a Third Grade Nothing for a couple of seconds.

Patrick was only in 1 episode, but he is a family member, so I don't know if he should be exempt from the no single-episode character rule. Fjurg was also in the episode Love Blactually as the bakery employee, but only appeared for a few seconds in that episode. MOOOOOPS (talk) 23:04, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you guys think we need Carolyn from Love Blactually? She was Brian's girlfriend then Cleveland's girlfriend. Don't you think that's a pretty big thing and it needs to be here. And Omar is the person who tried to win a spelling bee in Tales of a Third Grade Nothing. In case you don't know who he is. And Ms. Wilson was Peter's third grade teacher, who appeared also in Tales of a Third Grade Nothing.Since there one time characters, do you think we should make a section for characters called "one-time characters"?(Zach Benjamin (talk) 21:47, 4 December 2008 (UTC)). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zach Benjamin (talk • contribs) 21:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need Bruce Jenner? He appeared in Tales of a Third Grade Nothing. This is what he said.

Peter Griffin:Take me home,Bruce Jenner!

Bruce Jenner:Hop on, Peter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.32.61.52 (talk) 20:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He was in 1 episode for 5 seconds. He shouldn't be put on the page. MOOOOOPS (talk) 20:26, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't thin your being fair MOOOOOPS. Because Todd (The dog the Griffin's had before Brian) is on this page. And he only appeared in a cutaway for a couple of seconds and Bruce didn't appear in a cutaway he was actually with Peter for a couple of seconds.Plus they are both one time characters. Todd a one-time and he's on this page and Bruce is a one-time and he's not on this page. That's not fair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zach Benjamin (talk • contribs) 14:38, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Except Bruce Jenner is an actual person. If we listed Bruce Jenner, we'd have to list every single celebrity ever mentioned in Family Guy. Todd is unique to Family Guy; Bruce Jenner is not. Voxamimae (talk) 23:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reposting these on the main page, since they have been archived.

1. 99% of all celebrity appearances are non-canon and should not be inlcuded in the recurring character article. (Possible exceptions: James Woods, Michael Eisner)

2. All unnamed characters should not be included in recurring article. (Possible Exceptions: Judge)

3. All characters appearing in cutaway jokes should not be included in the recurring articles. (Exceptions: The Evil Monkey rule: Any cutaway character who makes three appearances or more can be safely counted as a character)

4. All characters who are central characters in the storyline of a single episode but do not make anymore appearances should not be inlcuded in the recurring character article. (Examples: Nigel the British pub owner, Ronaldo Peter's Mexican friend)

5. All characters who are central characters in the storyline of two or more episodes should be included in the recurring character article.

6. All one-time family members who have an episode or are a central part of a storyline devoted to them should be considered characters. (Examples: Mickey McFinnigan, Lois Laura Bush Lynne Cheney Pewterschmidt)

7. All cutaway joke family members should be considered non-canon and should not be included in the main article. (Examples: Peter's many "ancestors", Thaddeus Griffin, Stan Thompson) Saget53 (talk) 04:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could perhaps create this as a talkheader FAQ? That would solve the archiving issue. –xeno (talk) 20:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I say go for it! I'm not sure how to do it, without having to look it up. CTJF83Talk 20:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, great idea. And per these tenets, it's time to clean out "Peter Griffin Jr". =) DP76764 (Talk) 20:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ya, Dp, that is old already! Hopefully it will die down in a week or so. Do either of you know how to make an FAQ section...not that these IPs would read it anyway, but it still would be good to have. CTJF83Talk 01:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's an FAQ on Talk:Barack Obama; might be able to lift some of the code from there. DP76764 (Talk) 01:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we could just post it at the top of this page? or have it hidden on the article page, but visible when editing? CTJF83Talk 01:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's supposed to go at the top of talk pages, among the other 'header' stuff. DP76764 (Talk) 02:05, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
