 * Keep - Standing major party candidate (the Centre Party) in the upcoming Finnish parliamentary election. --Oakshade 23:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Council leaders of districts whos population of 15,517 are not generally considered notable. WIkipedia is not a soapbox for candidates standing in forthcoming elections. Ohconfucius 08:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * She is running in the national paliamentary election, not a local one. The size of parliamentary districts in Finland is irrelevant. --Oakshade 02:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * National parliamentary election, yes, so what? I fail to see how on earth this could be notable here if it's not notable on fi-WP. I mean, do you want to have an article on every person that ever ran for parliament, in any country, ever? Sheesh... -- N eo fe lis N eb ul osa (моє обговорення)  08:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Absolutely in synch with Neofelis here. No frigging point at all. There would be more candidates in national elections than we have rambot created articles on US counties by a very large margin, maybe even orders of magnitude larger. Think about it. Just under 200 odd countries. Say upwards of 100 seats in each national parliament (easily). Maybe 5-6 candidates contesting each seat on average. That would put us over 100 000 candidates to write an article on per election cycle. How many election cycles are there historically in each country? The mind genuinely boggles!!! -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 11:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, in Finnish Wikipedia over 77% of the voters thought that this politician is so non-notable that she doesn't deserve own article, that should already tell something. Totally unknown politician in her own country. ,,n 13:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Also-rans simply aren't notable. Now get out there and win an election for the Gipper.   SkierRMH, 09:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
