Technically, then, we should call him Grunkle Stan because he's mostly mentioned by his Great Nephew and Niece who call him that. Not many other people say his name, and when they do it varies from "Mr. Pines" to" Stan" to "Stanford Pines".

I just think something defined outside of the show would be easier. Something you can get simply by loooking at the wiki page i.e their full first name. Point taken on the Grunkle vs Mr. thing, but there's also some logic to be used, I think. Part of the reason for the discussion is about asthetics, and what is easiest to read. "Stan" is easier (partially because it's shorter) to read/look at than Stanford Pines, Mr Pines (which can also be Dipper's dad) or Grunkle Stan. Also, for looking at the page, I'm using the logic my 4th grade teacher taught me many years ago. For presentations, she told us to act as though she were an alien from Mars who had no preexisting knowledge of whatever the subject was. Assume someone who knows nothing of the show is looking at it. His first name is Stanford, but no one really calls him that, so logically, you'd put the nickname that people use as the name. That's what the alias/full name section is for (also so that it'll show up in a Google search so long as it's on the page)
