Fails all elements of WP:AUTHOR and there are only a few passing mentions so GNG isn't met. His big claim to fame appears to be starting a WP:NN newspaper that had 6 editions before closing. Failed CSD because "sources". Toddst1 (talk) 02:42, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 * This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because said individual is an important figure in Finnish literature and media scene, as proven by the several sources seen in this article that mention him. I don't believe the importance vanishes if someone from the United States or somewhere far away from Finland (or perhaps someone who might not even know what Finland is) doesn't recognise said individual. The person isn't Finland's Jack Kerouac, I admit that, but still an important figure in Finland, especially in English-speaking Finland, and thus worth mentioning on Wikipedia. I believe that the individual who proposed this article to be deleted, Toddst1, believes me to be A. either Lammin Sullay or B. related to Lammin Sullay, which I also believe to be the reason for him suggesting to mark this article as just some random individual from Finland with no significant importance to a dictionary or to society as a whole. To prevent further quid pro quo, I shall state here that I don't receive any compensation for any of the articles I've created, nor am I trying to advert, publicise or promote a writer who's been dead for almost 14 years. I chose my username simply because I am an avid fan of Sullay's work, and that's it. Regards, Sullay (Let's talk about it) 15:41, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see a case to keep this. No claims of meeting any SNG, and the one book reference I can check on Google Books is a trivial mention, and I can't even verify the existence of "Reindeer Books", his publisher; it could be a vanity publisher/self-published. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 23:21, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Accoerding to WorldCat, the books are in almsot no libraries. That's a good indication of their total lack of importance. Teh yseem to be part of an individual's self-publishing project.  DGG ( talk ) 06:14, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
