On January 30, 2025, the '''Daniel Larson Wiki''' (Domain name https://daniellarson.wiki/), hosted by [[User:Admin|the previous admin]], suddenly turned up under the "404 Not Found" error when accessed by Larstorians and passive observers alike. Initially, it was believed to be a result of the wiki's bandwidth limit having been exceeded, as it had happened in the past. However, it soon became clear that this was not the case—the wiki had been entirely deleted. | On January 30, 2025, the '''Daniel Larson Wiki''' (Domain name https://daniellarson.wiki/), hosted by [[User:Admin|the previous admin]], suddenly turned up under the "404 Not Found" error when accessed by Larstorians and passive observers alike. Initially, it was believed to be a result of the wiki's bandwidth limit having been exceeded, as it had happened in the past. However, it soon became clear that this was not the case—the wiki had been entirely deleted. Upon notice, users took to the Reddit to express their grief, as the Wiki had served as a comprehensive, neutral overlook of Larson's life, and it's perceived permanent deletion was seen as an ironic parallel to the burning of the Library of Alexandria.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1iejfy8/regarding_the_wiki/</ref> | ||
While the exact reason for the wiki's deletion remains unclear, it is widely believed that it happened as a direct response to legal threats from [[Lucas|Lucas Gunatilleke]], a past enabler of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson.]] In 2023, [[Lucas]] began interacting with [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]], engaging in actions such as buying him motel rooms and food, pretending to be [[Grace VanderWaal]] to gain his trust, among many other things. This plummeted his popularity among the wider Larsonverse, leading to him being doxxed. Shortly after, an article about him was added to the wiki by editor KanamoriKamper. | While the exact reason for the wiki's deletion remains unclear, it is widely believed that it happened as a direct response to legal threats from [[Lucas|Lucas Gunatilleke]], a past enabler of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson.]] In 2023, [[Lucas]] began interacting with [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]], engaging in actions such as buying him motel rooms and food, pretending to be [[Grace VanderWaal]] to gain his trust, among many other things.
