Moominvalley

This location fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Much of this is unsourced and original research. I also reviewed the corresponding Finnish article and it has insufficient reliable secondary sources to generate SIGCOV. Sources do not say much more than this being the home of the Moomins.

 * Keep Per WP:NEXIST. According to sources, at least in Europe, Moominvalley is about as iconic as Narnia rather than mere fancruft. There is even a museum based on it. I have found SIGCOV in 3 book sources so far, Children's Literature Comes of Age, the Oxford Encyclopedia of Children's Literature, and Literary Wonderlands, so it already passes GNG and I am sure many more such sources exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. The Swedish Wikipedia has another book, which according to the title might be about the universe as a whole or the location: Westin, Boel (1988). Familjen i dalen: Tove Janssons muminvärld. Stockholm: Bonnier. ISBN 91-0-047460-6. Geschichte (talk) 11:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
