I just removed this claim from the article:

"The town of Smithers (which is close to Burns Lake) may have been the inspiration for the Waylon Smithers character from the popular TV show The Simpsons."

This sounds very apocryphal/coincidental to me. Can anyone provide any documentation for it per WP:CITE? --Dvyost 08:39, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

This article was obviously written by someone who lives near Smithers but not in it. Much of the info on this page is false and serves to remind me to be careful in considering how much of each article on Wikipedia is factual.209.82.97.10 06:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
