Larries are shipping conspiracy theorists who believe that former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have or had a long-term and secret romantic relationship.[1][2][3]: 173–174 Some Larry conspirary theorists also believe that they has some sort of a romance during the early days of One Direction, but since have gone their seperate ways.

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:20, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Adding to that, the WP:LEAD is supposed to be summary of the rest of the article, and the article is supposed to be a summary of WP:RS about Larries. I don't much doubt there are people such as you describe, but has any decent sources noticed and bothered to write something about them? Per Fanlore (a WP:USERG source), there are many flavors of Larrie, that doesn't necessarily mean they are mentioned here. I see on that page something termed "Houie."

@Jolielover, hi! I removed Briana Jungwirth's name from the article, I think it's good WP-style per WP:BLPNAME. We can have her name in this article, there are decent sources, but per WP:BLPNAME there is no good reason we should, it does not add "significant value". I think it's more motivated in the Tomlinson article, so I won't argue for removing it there. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:29, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Alright, that is fine. Thanks! jolielover♥talk 09:42, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

@Jolielover and other watchers. You may or may not have heard of Grokipedia. @Apaugasma had an interesting idea, check "your" WP-article against the Grokipedia version, because AI isn't always wrong and might find a useful source etc. Larries, is different, I'll say that much, and it really likes sourcing reddit. So, if someone wants to spend some time on that, feel free. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:15, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

I am surprised at how much longer Grokipedia's article is (actually, I'm surprised it's even there). I don't know how exactly this information is generated. That being said, looking at the references for anything useful and I can't find anything useful that's not already in the article. Most new ones not in this are social media, like Tumblr. jolielover♥talk 17:13, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Definitely a lot of social media. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:23, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Well, I just checked Mean (song), and Grokipedia states, "In a review for Country Universe, the song received a D grade", when the source clearly indicates that it received an A grade. The analysis of the critic's review has even more hallucinations... Medxvo (talk) 17:55, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
