I would delete this. The only thing of note are his relation to Lindsay, and a 2008 entry in imdb in what is probably a minor role. Not enough material to make a page out of.--Sleepy2222 (talk) 02:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Is it just me, or does Lohan's inclusion in this category stretch the article's credibility? Were it not for his daughter's celebrity, here is a person who would be of no note whatsoever. I've met the man, and I assume he hopes to change that (preferably for the better) someday; for now, however, notability is (literally) relative... RadioKirk talk to me 20:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
As regards the now completed deletion discussion, in case of future such discussions: As a journalist, I have found that this article provides encyclopedic information that I actively use in news stories, after going to the linked, footnoted sources themselves for verification. It's particularly helpful for quickly verifying such delicate items as convictions and jail sentences. Without this article, it would take longer, often when I am on deadline, to find the appropriate sources that are available here in the footnotes. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Lohan's parents, Richard E. Lohan and Marilyn (Desiderio), were both American. I think this stuff about Michael Lohan being born in Galway (!), Ireland is some kind of error - perhaps an extrapolation of the family maybe having ancestors from Galway. Certainly he is usually described as having been raised in Long Island, New York. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:33, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
The article is not correct with regard to his early 1990s legal matters. See here: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/945/1214/289688/
It was not insider trading, it was fraud. He was ultimately sentenced to four years. This was his second commodities futures fraud case. That's why it was a criminal contempt case: in the first case he was ordered not to commit commodities futures fraud again, so when he did so he was in criminal contempt of that earlier court order. The article does not mention the first criminal matter.
In the second matter he served four years in prison in upstate NY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.62.64 (talk) 02:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
The section of the article does not make it clear whether or not he was the father. Could this be clarified? Spelling Style (talk) 22:40, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Does this guy really exist? This is just a put-on, isn't it? An elaborate put-on. Had me going, I'll admit. Rt3368 (talk) 09:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
The article has a section entitled "Career", that says "At age twenty, Lohan became a Wall Street trader on the floor of the commodity exchange." That's all the section says. Is he still a trader on the commodity exchange? Has he worked in any other professions? —BarrelProof (talk) 16:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Birth dates of the three public-figure children, who are all adults in this case, are valid to include. Indeed WP:DOB which a precious editor cited even says: "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object."
I would ask that editor not to edit-war but to respect WP:BRD and begin a discussion here or an RfC if he or she wishes. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
The policy on biographies of living persons clearly leaves the inclusion of details of family members up to the discretion of the article's editors, as long as the information is well-sourced. All editors seem to agree that there are reliable sources, and the overwhelming majority of editors favor keeping full names and dates of birth of the children in the article.
