 * Keep - Looks like a notable sportswoman to me, with plenty of national-level coverage of her dual career representing her country at both handball and football/soccer. 288 "hits" at in.fo including a short 2004 write up for getting in the handball "team of the year", a 2003 interview while captaining the Faroes at the Football at the 2003 Island Games – Women's tournament, a 2005 interview before a Cup final (?) with her handball club Stjørnan, and this which goes into substantial WP:DEPTH, in that it touches on her family life and career outside football. More recently she's been in the news while coaching the national youth teams (WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE) There are offline sources (WP:DIVERSE) Playing for the national football team at the same time as her daughter in 2012 produced English language coverage at UEFA and RSSSF. UEFA also included them in a 2015 list of "Europe's ultimate footballing families". While the national newspaper Norðlýsið produced an article headlined: "The Shanklys, The Maldinis, The Laudrups, The Charltons and The Klaksteins". There is a German wiki article and evidence of coverage in German  (WP:GEOSCOPE). Faroesoccer.com seems to disagree with our article and suggest she debuted for the national team way back in May 1996 and had a 17-year national team career, as well as playing 39 games in the UEFA Women's Champions League. So it seems reasonable to assume that an editor who could speak Faroese and/or had access to offline sources would be able to find way more coverage than I did.
