Familiar face from Finnish TV, sure, but that's neither relevant nor enough to establish notability. Search finds a few tabloid / gossip mag pieces, so barely RS, and even then no significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG / WP:ENT. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: She's the news anchor on Finland's national channel. A search for her name on Google News yields 900 results from a range of sources... but I have to admite that they are all in Finnish, which I cannot read. Furius (talk) 18:42, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Again, I don't speak Finnish, but from a quick Google she certainly appears to notable; an anchor on Finland's main national broadcaster and presenting the prestgious Independence Day Reception (Finland) event wouldn't be given to some throwaway celebrity. Additionally, the Finnish article for her has existed on the Finnish Wikipedia for 15 years, and the |Vjosa_Osmani pageview stats for that indicate that the Finnish article for her actually has been getting consistently more views than someone who is currently linked from the Finnish main landing page; not an indication of notabilty, granted, but certainly indicates at least local interest.

 * Keep. She is a well-known public figure which is reflected by the number of sources out there. I speak Finnish and searched in Finnish-language sources. Much of it is in the genre of entertainment news/women's magazines but the sources themselves are WP:RS. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:05, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment There are plenty of hits, but none of it is sigcov, it's all about her mother dying and that sort of thing. Also, many hits are about her reporting (eg. on the Linnan Juhlat), rather than her being reported on. In other words, quantity rather than quality. (And not that I should have to point this out to anyone, but being a news anchor etc. is not a notability criterion. Let's not confuse familiarity of face and name with notability.) When I first saw this article I did some searching in order to save it, but failed, and had to conclude that the subject isn't notable by English-language Wikipedia's standards. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Why isn't being a news anchor for a major channel a notability criterion? It seems like it should be roughly equivalent to starring in a notable film, which can be used as an argument for actors. Furius (talk) 17:51, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per TubularWorld. Meets notability guidelines. Riteboke (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
