Daniel Larson (celebrity)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable TikToker (?). Beyond mentions in TikTok videos and a subreddit, I could find nothing on him. 0 coverage in RS. ULPS (talk) 21:38, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. This article has been moved around at least a half dozen times to numerous different titles and namespaces by this editor, most recently deleted as an attack page at Draft:Daniel Larson (President). The page creator tried to hijack Dan Larson (politician) which required numerous revision deletions. I think this article should also be speedy deleted and this editor face sanctions for continuing to create unflattering pages about this person (if they even exist). Liz Read!

 * Would you say it qualifies under G10? I didn't think A7 applied (the billion views thing + being allegedly killed by police), but I was unsure considering it's not an unambiguous attack. Not a hoax either, the guy seemingly does exist. ULPS (talk) 22:12, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, considering the BLP is unsourced, I wouldn't rule out that it is a total hoax and the photo might be of someone else entirely. I think if someone was a TikTok celebrity and was killed by the police it would not just be on local news but national news. I'd delete it myself but I've already commented here. But I think that my POV is also colored by the fact that I've seen this exact same article with the same content many times under different page titles over the past two weeks. Liz Read!

 * I think that the police murder thing is a lie, but he does seem to exist. I think we should let the AfD run (most likely will end up deleted anyway) but if someone else decides to tag or delete I wouldn't complain lol. ULPS (talk) 02:30, 23 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete I suspect this is a hoax. The photo is apparently a selfie, so would have been created by this person. It was taken on July 5, and the article here says he died on the 11th. He took the photo, uploaded it to wikipedia, died, then someone else made an article about him a week later, using the photo? The only person with the same name for which I found coverage would be about 20 yrs older and only covered in tabloid sources.Oaktree b (talk) 04:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
