Earth-One or Earth-Two?[]

This page lists him as Earth-Two, theo thers are Earth-One. Does anyone know which one he was supposed to be, if at all? IIRC, both the connection to the Kent Family and Khufu came after Crisis, so that's not really an indication of anything. --Tupka217 09:27, September 18, 2020 (UTC)

"* The designation of Silent Knight as an Earth-Two character in the pre-Crisis multiverse is somewhat arbitrary, as his stories straddled the Earth-Two and Earth-One eras. Earth-Two was chosen because, in All-Star Squadron #5455, he is brought into the future year of 1985 in Earth-Two. However, this happens during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and several heroes from Earth-One are also present, so it's still arbitrary." - too flimsy to say either way. --Tupka217 09:29, September 18, 2020 (UTC)
I wrote the above "explanation", but it's mostly a guess as to what the original editor was thinking. Brian Kent was originally Earth-One, but was set to Earth-Two in 2011, long before I was here. - SuperFan24K (talk) 14:54, September 18, 2020 (UTC)
Sounds like we need a rule for cases where the actual stories give us no hint as to Earth-One or Earth-Two. Something like:
If a feature began in 1955 or earlier, it is considered Earth-Two
If a feature began in 1956 or later, it is considered Earth-One
NOTE: I am not saying that should be the rule. I am saying that is the type of rule needed. -- SuperFan24K (talk) 15:45, September 18, 2020 (UTC)
