In 2024, former YouTube star Daniel “PixelPhantom” Reed noticed something strange—his Wikipedia page was gone. At first, he assumed it was a routine deletion, but soon, every mention of him vanished from search engines, news articles, and even archived web pages. Fans speculated it was a massive digital purge, while conspiracy theorists suggested he had never existed. Desperate for answers, Reed consulted experts in Wikipedia notability assessment services, but even they found no trace of his past online presence. Weeks later, an old fan uncovered a corrupted video file—proof that Reed had once been real… before being erased.
