 * Keep. Passes WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, including some national media outlets. Significant coverage includes (1) "Danish Archer Becomes Football Star", Associated Press (Colorado newspaper), 8/9/15 (same story published in multiple newspapers across the country, including Minnesota, Nebraska, Maryland, Illinois, Texas, and Massachusetts); (2) "Archer leaves Denmark, becomes American football star", Sports Illustrated, 8/8/15; (3) "Andreas Knappe grew up a Redskins fan in Denmark. Now he’s on the team’s practice squad",  The Washington Post, 10/19/17; (4) "Falcons’ Andreas Knappe dreamed of being an Olympic archer",  Atlanta Journal Constitution, 5/12/17; (5) "The Mighty Thor: UConn dreamed big on six-foot-nine archer from Denmark", TheAmerican.org, 8/18/15 (arguably not independent), (6) "Knappe Still Adjusting to Football", NBC Connecticut, 3/27/13, (7) "It’s a brave new world for UConn lineman Andreas Knappe", New Haven Register, 8/29/15; (8) "Danish Tackle Draws A Crowd", The Hartford Courant, 8/12/12, (9) Nordic Track, The Hartford Courant, 9/3/15, and (10) Huskies May Get Knappe Sacks, The Hartford Courant, 3/27/13. There are also multiple articles in Danish media but I don't speak the language and can't evaluate the sources. Cbl62 (talk) 17:46, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Cbl62's sources. In addition, he very likely meets WP:NCOLLATH #3 as well due to the Sports Illustrated feature article Cbl62 found. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Definitely meets GNG, per above. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 22:16, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
