This appears to be a completely amateur club event. It is not recognized by the International Skating Union, nor does it receive any other form of significant coverage. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – It looks to be a club tournament. Though the event does attract skaters from multiple countries, it doesn't seem to attract any notable skaters. Supposable Yuzuru Hanyu did skate there, but that's unsourced. If he skated there, that was before he was notable. All the ref's are primary sources. Btw, I heard about this AfD through an edit summary on Hanyu's article. 15zulu (talk) 06:15, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yuzuru Hanyu did skate there: [1], [2]. And Yukiko Fujisawa: [3]. And, naturally, many prominent Danish junior skaters like Kristinna Vagtborg Jensen (no article; she was once 2nd at the Danish Junior Championships [4]).
    But yes, I can't find almost any coverage. This article is the best I've found: [5]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:46, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • 1) Those WP:YOUTUBE videos can't be used. The two Hanyu videos were taken at different arenas, per his article he participated in the event once, so chances are, one of the videos is from somewhere else. 2) It doesn't matter how many skaters were there before they were notable. It matters how many skaters were there when they were notable, how much news coverage the event got, etc. 3) Feel free to use the article as a ref on the Skate Copenhagen page. It's better than being solely ref'ed by primary sources. However, it doesn't look to be a high quality source, e.g. a mainstream newspaper. Good luck, 15zulu (talk) 22:34, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
