Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Holger Askehave” as danish wrestler. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Holger, Askehave and Danish.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1900, 1978, 1924—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1900-09-04. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Holger, Askehave and Danish providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Holger Askehave”, the useful work is to connect “danish wrestler” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16008326. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1900, 1978 and 1924.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
