Doesn't meet WP:NSPORT. I have done a quick BEFORE without finding information outside of general sports databases (e.g., Soccerway). Sources exist for other footballers named Martin Smith (see Martin Smith (footballer)). Sources may also exist in Danish. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:47, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Granted, this was not exactly a very comprehensive article, but now I found [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The coverage looks unusually in-depth and sustained, e.g. looking back on his career 20 years later. PS. These all pertain to the correct Martin Smith, and quite naturally they are all in Danish. Furthermore, I will take it upon myself to actually improve the article with these sources. Geschichte (talk) 21:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources above which show notability. Giant Snowman 20:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per Geschichte. Played for one of most prominent teams in fully pro Danish leagues and already has online sources and definitly has more offline sources. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:37, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
