Milhouse Van Houten → Milhouse – like with Patty and Selma, the first name is the primary topic yet it redirects to a full name that nobody uses to refer the character. DemonDays64 (talk) 06:44, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose as per other character naming convention: Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Principal Skinner, Edna Krabappel, et al. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per reason stated above. Rhino131 (talk) 13:19, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Chaheel Riens and Rhino131: but unlike those, a. his last name is not used frequently in the show and b. he is the primary topic for his first name. Patty and Selma were moved for this reason, and I think this page should be too. DemonDays64 (talk) 14:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose No reason to drop the family name. Dimadick (talk) 18:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment: (from user who started) Note that Google Search returns 1,180,000 results for
"Milhouse" "The Simpsons"
, while it returns just 200,000 for "Milhouse Van Houten" "The Simpsons"
— his full name is much less commonly used than his first name. DemonDays64 (talk) 01:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. We don't have Bart Simpson at Bart either. JIP | Talk 10:25, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose a mononym isn't appropriate here. Sure, he's primarily referred to without his last name on the show, but that's because almost everyone is referred to without their last name in casual conversation.

Milhouse's religion
[edit]Milhouse's religion is listed as Zoroastrian on this page, but no reference is cited. Milhouse and his parents can be seen in church with other residents of Springfield in various episodes. Can the claim that Milhouse is Zoroastrian be substantiated, or should this be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:EA00:200:500:BDDC:9C9F:1614:5B78 (talk) 14:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Milhouse or Homer?
[edit]the article should be titled Homer J Simpson, because that's who the article is about. it is not about Milhouse van Houten 100.42.242.68 (talk) 05:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
