On 30 April 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Jon Kent (DC Comics, 2015). The result of the discussion was no consensus. |
This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... This article is a split page. The article covers a new Superboy character, who is distinct from previous Superboys, and only have a limited coverage on the existing Superboy article. Each Superboys who have assumed the Superboy identity, has individual article of their own. Which is why I created an article specifically about this character, and also allowed the topics to be discussed more fully and provided more detail about the character's history and biography in the DC Comics. He is a significant and notable character who currently has a big impact and focus in the DC comics and Superman stories. And will also star in his own comic book series as the new Superboy in DC Comics.-- Rootone ( talk) 06:32, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Question: Should "other versions" of the character of Jon Kent really include EVERY single son of Superman and Lois? Or just those actually named Jon / Jonathan?
If it's the former—every single son that's appeared in Superman comics or other media—the list is woefully incomplete. For example, there are numerous Silver Age "imaginary stories" missing, including one (Superman #192/194) where the son actually becomes Superboy.
If it's the latter, then Jason White, Joel Kent (and Kara), and Adam Kent shouldn't be on this list.
Finally, Clark Kent, Jr., who is not named Jon and has a mother who is never identified, definitely should not be on the list. Yes, with Bruce Wayne, Jr., the two characters are the prototypes for the current Super Sons, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne. But that should be noted on the Super Sons page, not here. So that's my justification for removing him. Spiderboy12 ( talk) 16:10, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't want to make assumptions in bad faith about another editor, but I am concerned that Rootone ( talk · contribs) is constantly reverting my attempt at creating a proper WP:LEAD for this article. Per Wikipedia's guidelines, an article should have a lead sections which can:
Rootone's main objection in edit summaries (they don't claim WP:OWNership or opposition to the LGBT content, so I won't attribute that to them...) is seemingly that the article is short enough that someone could just read it end to end. Well, that's not how encyclopaedias work and it's not best practice on Wikipedia.
I've written a few WP:GOOD articles in my time and I am really confident that what this article needs is to be written the proper way and have its lead revolve around the characters real-world notability, and provide a a comprehensive introduction to a casual non-fan. The previous versions did not do it. Mine does.
If Rootone would like to improve upon my lead section – perhaps make the writing tighter, in some way – I would encourage that rather than wholesale, territorial reversion. Zythe ( talk) 18:10, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Jon Kent (DC Comics) → Jon Kent (DC Comics, 2015) – WP:NATURALDAB -- this character was created in 2015 with the full name Jonathan Samuel Kent. Other DC characters named Jon Kent that preceded 2015 are not this character. This is not an overview article of Jon Kents in DC Comics, nor the Smallville father of Clark, nor Jon Lane Kent. "Jon Kent (DC Comics)" should be an overview article or list article of DC Comics characters with that name. Jon Kent (disambiguation) already lists several DC topics. -- 65.92.247.66 ( talk) 11:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request ( permalink). 65.92.247.66 ( talk) 22:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
