No references on the page for many years, I can't find anything to verify the claims, never mind indicate that there are RS that meet the requirements of the GNG. JMWt (talk) 14:47, 3 March 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 17:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Spede Pasanen per WP:ATD-M - There's some Finnish language coverage (Yle, Iltalehti, Tekniikka ja talous, Helsingin Sanomat, MTV Uutiset, Iltasanomat), but it tends to be relatively short blurbs and usually listed as one of the -- already famous for other reasons -- inventor's many inventions. My hunch is that one could, with enough patience, dig through older Finnish language materiel to find enough refs to make this a borderline GNG pass, but 1) hypothetical sources don't count and 2) even then this feels like something better handled as a section in the inventor's article. -Ljleppan (talk) 09:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify - It could be worthy, just it's not in its current form. We definitely need some sources and some other things to help explain it to people like me who don't know much about boats.KatoKungLee (talk) 03:03, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete - not even close to meeting notability criteria. No prejudice for recreation if someone creates a well-sourced article which meets WP:GNG.  As per WP:VERIFY, nothing should be merged, since it is all uncited. Onel 5969  TT me 00:49, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
