I just wanted to let everyone know I editied Stan's entry. He is not Italian-American, and there is no evidence to support this conclusion. The evidence we do have points to German-English.
Can you elaborate on this, please? Yanksox 14:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
The last name, Marsh, is of German origin. The name Stanley is also. His grandfather flew Spitfires in WWII- Spitfires are British planes. Shelly, Sharon, Randy, Stan are all English names, with Stan being the english version of Stanley. Kern is a Welsh-English-Scottish mixed name. The only way anyone could say he is Italian-American is if you want to say he is adopted. Honestly, why say he is Italian-America? It's not true.
Hey, it's me again. Someone tried to sneak the Italian thing in again, and I editied it to protect it from becoming a pile of lies. :P
There is no suggestion in the show that Stan is Italian and it should not be provided as official information.
I am Italian-American and the comment about first names and grandfather's roots can be drastically wrong. My first name is Nicholas, that doesn't warrant me as Greek or Russian. The only point you do have is last names. But my girlfriend is also Ialian-American, and her last name is Irish. A name doesn't really matter, it's how far you go. This is just a cartoon and to be frank, Stan could be anything. Oh, and I forgot. Ellis Island. Names were changed, my dad had his first name changed there. Well...I'm tired.

Very true- But Marvin Marsh said he flew Spitfires in WWII. Spitfires=British plane. And, while Stan COULD be anything, all evidence we can gather points to German-English. We can only go on the information we have.
That's one half of his family. Meh, I really don't care. It's a funny show that won a peabody award. Yanksox 13:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
It's my favorite show, hence why I am very stringent about it. Stan is also my favorite character, heh. As for it being only one-half of his family- correct. But Sharon, mauden name Sharon Kern, Kern is a mixed Brittania name as I described before. It wouldn't have any reason to be changed, neither would Marsh. Both names are easily pronouncable in English. :P
But it comes down to roots and name changes. It's VERY complicated. ALOT of Italians changed their names just so they could slide in. Like one of my least favorite Artists Dean Martin, and Nick Cage changed his name. But that was to prove he could make it on his own. Yanksox 16:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
TRue again, but we have to work with the information we have. What we have points to German-English. Until an episode is done to clarify his heritage, we can only go so far.
Oh, and Kenny has an older brother who is his biological sibling, so I'm taking that out.
I changed his age to 8. In 914 - Bloody Mary, he says "I'm 8!" I think we've learnt in another episode that he's 9, but this is the latest proof of age we have. UPDATE: OK, 8-9 is good.
Grandfather being Italian
