[edit] Darren Kent

So far as I can tell, nothing on this page is true. There is no such character as Darren Kent recorded on IMDB as having ever appeared in any TV series based on Superman. He's not mentioned in any online Superman or DC Comics encyclopedia I can find, even though one of them lists all Clark's pre-Crisis relatives, including characters who only appeared in one story. I know he wasn't in Lois and Clark because I watched every episode (and I notice the page originally claimed he was in Smallville, but someone who knew better removed that). The character doesn't exist. Daibhid C 23:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Looking at this evidence I have to come to the same conclusion as yourself - there's no evidence other than this Wikipedia article to suggest Darren Kent existed. And even if he did, the character is completely non-notable. Lradrama 11:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: The creator of this article, Jukla2 (talk · contribs), has also edited the now-deleted article Justin Klassen, which claimed its subject to be a "Canadian actor, best known for his recurring role as Darren Kent, Clark Kents (Tom Welling)cousin on the tv show Smallville." That is, it did after the IP who created the article turned around and decided he wasn't a hockey player for the Chicago Blackhawks after all. (Curiously enough, there does appear to be a hockey player named Justin Klassen, though none of the information about him matches what was in the deleted article.) In fact, following the trail of deleted contributions leads to more deleted hoax articles and several likely sockpuppet accounts (none of whom have edited in over a year). Anyway, even though I have no definite proof that this article is a hoax, based on all this I'd be inclined to say delete. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
