Denmark fails WP:ATH and after a good faith search on google news also fails WP:GNG. He has yet to appear professionally and played at a lower level college team. Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 01:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC) [reply]

• Delete some small college football players are notable, this one is not. Well, not yet anyway--not for our purposes. Try another wiki?--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep Switch to Weak Delete. This is a close case, but I lean slightly toward keeping deleting. During the 2009 season, Denmark had 54 receptions for 987 yards and 11 touchdowns -- pretty impressive numbers. See this source. He's signed with an NFL team and is only the 3rd player in the history of his school to accomplish that feat. He played for a small university (Arkansas-Monticello) where media coverage is quite limited. Despite the lack of media coverage on UAM's football program, a search of Google News and NewsBank reveals several articles focusing on Denmark as the principal subject of the story. Examples of news coverage focusing on Denmark include: (1) Lee's Denmark shines at jamboree, The Florida Times-Union, May 16, 2003, (2) Ponte Vedra trainer helping Jaguar rookie realize his dream, Ponte Vedra Recorder, August 28, 2009, (3) Denmark Contributes to QB's Success, Pine Bluff Commercial, September 9, 2008. (4) Former UAM Wide Receiver Denmark Signs with Jaguars, Pine Bluff Commercial, August 5, 2009, (5) Lee High graduate Denmark re-signs with Jaguars, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News (link to article as it appeared in The Florida Times-Union), January 6, 2010, (6) Jaguars cut four Jacksonville native Denmark among rookies to be let go, The Florida Times-Union, September 2, 2009.
