 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

I have deProded the article, because i think it need full discussion. Prod rational was:

I have proposed that this article should be deleted for the following reasons: For these reasons, I propose that this article be deleted. Dinky town  talk  21:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There are no references or links within the article
 * The article has reference numbers "[1]" that are dead, and not relevant with the article, which may be proof that this was copied from another article.
 * The article is *very* poorly written, to the point of being nonsensical.
 * If the article was better written, it could have been merge with another article, such as Finnish folklore, but since its not, its better to start from scratch.
 * Using derogatory phrases as "lapp" in stead of preferred "Sami", which are no longer in use by academics.
 * It makes no reference to who the Sami are within Finnish culture, describing them as "lappalainen" with no decription as to why they are important within Finnish culture.

I have no opinion. Armbrust Talk  Contribs  20:56, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per prod rationale. Completely unreferenced and poorly written. Appears to be original research and duplicates topics covered by Finnic mythology/Finnish mythology. Gobonobo  T C 21:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a (poorly written) essay, not an article: delete as OR. Jonathunder (talk) 14:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
