Biography
It is not sure who the parents of this profile, or his siblings, are. If he is the son of Abjörn, then the LNAB should simply be Abjörnsson.
Research Note
This profile has been disconnected as son of Abjörn Sixtensson. Sources suggest that Abjörn and his wife only had two sons, none with the name Benedikt. He is not proven to be of the house Sparre af Tofta and the LNAB should not represent that.
Online trees suggest there was someone named Abjörn Ulfsson, "Sparre från Västbo", example https://www.geni.com/people/Abj%C3%B6rn-Ulfsson-Sparre-fr%C3%A5n-V%C3%A4stbo/6000000018448056480 Could possibly be connected with Jon Kristinesson?https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kristinesson
As suggested above, they are most likely children of another Abjörn, or they can very well be fabrications or "internet lore" in order to connect family to nobility. WikiTree should not replicate mistakes made at other genealogy sites, only if somewhat reliable sources for these profiles can prove they might belong in this family they should be reconnected.

Bengt Abjornsson (Sparre)
Bengt (Latin Benedickt) Abjörnsson (Sparre) was a son of Abjörn (Unknown) (Sparre) and Lucia Matsdotter (the Older Oxenstierna) (her first marriage). From Långserum, in Svenarum sn. in Västra hd, Njudung (Smålenene). (Look at Hans Gillingstam (1952) page 911, Rettelser och tillägg (Corrections and Additions). Lucia is there directed from, Unknown dotter (Daughter), to be Mats Nilsson Oxenstierna's dotter Lucia, who they before assumed as unmarried, becouse she was a Nun. But she become a nun as a (old) widow. (Mentioned 1338). Bengt Abjörnsson had the full siblings , 1. Margareta Abjörnsdotter. - 2. Gustav Abjörnsson . - 3. Elena Abjörnsdotter. - 4. Ingrid Abjörnsdotter. They all probably died in the big plague (the blach death), except for Gustav, who is the only one mentioned after 1350. Bengt Abjörnsson mentioned the last time when he together with his brother Gustav sealsa letter in 1348 (SDHK-nr:5676), then they have the name Sparre in their seals.

I forgot to ask if you could also remove from his LNB " Spare af Tofta" as he did not bear this name (And his Swedish name was Bengt). As they can se the names Sparre in Bengt and Gustavs seals in 1348 , I assumed you can use that name in LNB.
First, Abjörn Unknown is a real person. I have added some biography about his son Bengt (in Latin language called Benebict). But could you please remove the names Erik - Knut - Nanne (as is a girl) and Laurents, as they do not belong to this Abjörn, and therefore neither is Bengt Ablörnssons sibling's.
