I know this is the subject of a major edit war over this page, one that I have stayed out of. Personally I don't care if Robert Benfer is included or not. I reverted a couple attempts to wipe the disambiguation page to show nothing but him, and have seen him added and deleted dozens of times by now. The way I see it though, if he's going to be on the page (as he has been for a week or two now), he should be added properly. Some points in favor of keeping him, his site is the #3 result for "Knox" on Google, and he has an imdb profile. I know there have been votes against him in the past, and his would-be entries in Wikipedia have all been deleted and protected against being added, but as I see it, leaving him on this list would at least stave off the edit wars and vandalism this page gets. Note also I am not unilaterally adding him (as he was already here), I simply put the entry in the correct place with the correct formatting. -Nakamura282820:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I assume there is no objection as he has not been deleted by the powers that be, but he has been added multiple times, duplicating an existing entry. Please check to make sure not to add the same person twice. -Nakamura282822:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, his site is the #1 result for a "knox" search on Google now, and if we trust the counter at the bottom has had over 14 million visits. Esn20:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We have deleted at least eight articles on Knox and his creations, at least some of which were created by Benfer himself, i make it over twenty separate deletions. I diagnose vanispamcruftisement. I think these links are being added to promote, not to inform, and at least some of them have themselves been added by Benfer as User:Stillz1. Guy (Help!) 22:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would nevertheless argue that his large fanbase makes him notable enough for an article. A bad article can be rewritten; that shouldn't be grounds for deletion. The last review of Benfer's notability took place in 2005, and that 2-year-old decision was been used as justification to salt the "Robert Benfer" article a few months ago.

Robert Benfer has thousands and thousands of fans, which I thinks makes him about as notable as David Firth. Though many of Knox's fans are obsessed with making him look as good as possible, I think someone could easily write a fair and balanced wiki article about him, and keep fans from making comments like, "Knox is God let's all worship him".--168.103.157.15623:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
