Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Finland

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Finland. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Finland|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Finland. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

Delete per WP:NOTDICT. No sources, and in the Finnish version the source only references the abbreviation. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 14:43, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Promotionally-toned article that relies heavily on primary and non-independent sourcing. I don’t see a WP:NPROF pass - subject is on a few highly cited papers, but only as a 5th or 6th co-author, and listed awards do not appear particularly prestigious. As for WP:GNG- she is quoted and/or mentioned in things like this and this, but I was not able to turn up any significant coverage of her specifically in secondary, independent sources (not interviews). Searched g-news, g-books, newspapers.com, PressReader, and some Finnish newspapers. Zzz plant (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Women, Finland, and Switzerland. Zzz plant (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
• Delete. Despite a few highly-cited papers seems to have a GS h-index of only 7; not enough to pass wP:Prof#C1. Otherwise an average (but worthy) academic researcher and administrator. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2025 (UTC).
