Non-notable. Only really known for his self-promotion on YouTube. PepperBeast (talk) 20:14, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This person has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and therefore meets the general notability guideline. And as an archery speed world record holder, he is apparently notable per se. --Neo-Jay (talk) 00:40, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Andersen claims to hold a world record, but I couldn't find any evidence that he does. FWIW, the Guinness Book of World Records awards the speed record to Hamish Murray PepperBeast (talk) 01:43, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although his speed is not officially recognized by the Guinness World Records, it has been widely reported by independent sources. And Lars Andersen has also received significant public attention for his other archery skills. That's why I think that he meets the general notability guideline. --Neo-Jay (talk) 03:23, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is known first and foremost for being a fast archer, which is abundantly demonstrated in sources that go well beyond that single fact, and the article easily meets WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. Perhaps nom would care to read the Danish sources as well, an alternative {{Find sources AFD}} has been provided. The nomination makes the bare claim that subject is not notable (WP:Not notable) and says "Only really known for his self-promotion on YouTube", but I don't see sources mention that it is "self-promotion" that he is known for.
