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

- 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)
