Characters[edit]

This ‘Characters’ section isn’t adding anything to the article and has turned into an uncited list of non-notable characters. I intend to cut it right back to a few names of leading characters with cites as per normal guidelines, unless there is reasonable objection. Mramoeba (talk) 14:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, WP:NOT this is not a list of every character ever written about, this is a page about the notable podcast. As none of the characters are notable we need no more than a minimum outline, if that. Mramoeba (talk) 21:08, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But how is the Duchess of Epsom a non-notable character?! (2A02:C7D:C1C:4700:21CC:BE8:AA33:D688 (talk) 20:41, 21 March 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Virtually all the characters are non notable by Wikipedia standards, there should really be no list, only a discussion of the characters in terms of plot summary, using reliable sources WP:RS. The page is about the podcast not the book, and lists of characters are more suitable to fandom wikia. I believe the section is a remnant of a redirect from a previously deleted page, Belinda Blinked. For more information read MOS:PLOT. Mramoeba (talk) 21:01, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that another editor has created the neat synopsis tables for each series, the characters are simply duplicated here so I have removed them and it reads a lot better. Mramoeba (talk) 21:11, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Date format[edit]

This article is currently a mixture of DMY and MDY date formats. For consistency I'm going to format it to DMY based on the first major contribution being DMY and also based on the podcast being British and having national ties. If you disagree, have a discussion about it, revert it, do whatever you want, but keep the date format consistent. - X201 (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article is already tagged with dmy dates as it is British, so no problem, go ahead. Mramoeba (talk) 19:19, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

I have split the series/episodes section to a new list page here List of My Dad Wrote a Porno episodes as it was much too long for inclusion here, deserving a standalone page. Mramoeba (talk) 23:03, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Real name" of Rocky Flinstone[edit]

I have reverted an edit which included the real name of author Rocky Flintstone, in this case because it seemed to be original research, violating Wikipedia guidelines. The editor has not provided evidence of this being Flintstone's name in real life. However I'm also not sure about the ethical guidelines on this? This is a fact-based encyclopedia, I appreciate, but in this case Flintstone has chosen to keep his private details private, so I also feel uncertain about this being revealed on Wikipedia - if it turns out to be actually true. Not sure what the rules are on this? How would Banksy or Elena Ferrante be dealt with? The Cardigan Kid (talk) 00:45, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Toured countries missing[edit]

Sweden, Norway and several more European nations are not so much as mentioned. Someone oughta complete the listings.

Episode list[edit]

I've WP:BLARed the List of My Dad Wrote a Porno episodes because I don't think it passes WP:NLIST. If anyone disagrees with my assessment feel free to revert. TipsyElephant (talk) 12:27, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
