Fargo Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 30 entries checked · 5 flagged · 11 issues confirmed · 5 corrected · 6 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Shelly Weaver — Shelly Weaver is killed by Ray Stussy in Episode 1, so her status should be deceased, not alive.

Shelly Weaver — Shelly Weaver does not appear in the opening scene of Season 3; she appears later in Episode 1.

Stan and Ed Gerhardt Rivalry — The entry states the rivalry is between 'Dodd and Bear Gerhardt', but the title and intro refer to 'Stan and Ed Gerhardt Rivalry', which is a different pair of characters. The correct brothers are Dodd and Bear Gerhardt.

Stan and Ed Gerhardt Rivalry — The entry claims 'culminating in Bear killing his brother'. In the canon, Bear does not kill Dodd; Dodd is killed by Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers.

The Gerhardt Family War Arc — The entry incorrectly implies the entire arc is set equally in Fargo, North Dakota, and Luverne, Minnesota, but the Gerhardt family's home base is specifically in the Fargo area, not in Luverne.

The Gerhardt Family War Arc — The statement 'leaving no legacy to survive' is misleading because Charlie Gerhardt (Dodd's son) survives, even though he is imprisoned, so a bloodline legacy technically continues.

Gerhardt Family — Simone Gerhardt is described as the daughter of Dodd Gerhardt, but in the series, Simone is the daughter of Dodd's brother, not Dodd himself; she is Dodd's niece.

Gerhardt Family — The entry states that Floyd Gerhardt is the leader in 1979, but in the series, Otto Gerhardt is the patriarch and Floyd takes over after Otto's stroke; Floyd is not the sole leader at the start of the season.

Norm Solverson — The entry is about Norm Solverson but describes Lou Solverson, including his past involving the Sioux Falls incident.
