Untitled[edit]

Last sentence, first paragraph: "He is the most shunned son of the two."

This should be clarified or removed. It implies that the Kings "shun" their sons or that the public shuns them. It is unclear which meaning is intended.

Is there evidence that the Kings shun their sons?

Stephen King quoted as saying: "Owen is more like this sort of -- I don't want to dis him but -- Bret Easton Ellis. I don't know, more like flavor-of-the-month, New York relationships." <-- New York Times, 2000 (http://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/13/magazine/what-is-stephen-king-trying-to-prove.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.108.140.10 (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Owen King's only claim to noteworthiness is that he's Stephen King's offspring and because of this, he doesn't qualify for his own entry. Lots of people have published one book but aren't children of Stephen King and they don't have their own wikipedia entry. I suggest the whole entry be stricken from the record, and if for some reason Owen King has to be in wikipedia, then his name should go on Stephen King's entry page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vcczar (talk • contribs) 12:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
