 * Comment Have you checked Google Books? A search on Laiho Trio accordion turns up a significant number of Snippet views of publications from the 1970s and 80s. These and the sources listed in the article are pre-Internet-Age and therefore less easy to verify, but they indicate evidence meriting further investigation.

 * Keep There are book mentions, and this WILL be a harder article to source due to the period, but there are some to be found. The real problem is the current article is full of original research and unsourced information, which is obviously never a valid reason to delete and not the reason stated by the nom.  While the nomination was obviously in good faith (refs ARE hard to find, article needs work badly), there likely exists in newspapers, plenty of articles.  WP:V requires that the information CAN BE verified, not that every detail IS verified, and with that in mind, I think we have to keep it.  Dennis Brown (talk) 20:56, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note I tagged this one for rescue, as after a few minutes of searching, I'm pretty confident that sources can be found by someone more familiar with the topic. Dennis Brown (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 2nd Note If this article were to be deleted (Not likely, but still) I would request it be userfied to the original contributor, as it is being actively worked on and sources are very likely, even if not quick to materialize. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:17, 31 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Were they called the Laiho Trio or the Laiho Brothers? The New York Times has an article about their appearance on a radio program but you have to pay to read it.  I Google news archive searched for "Altti" "Veikko" "Pentti" "Laiho" to find it.  The article says they were reviewed in a magazine called International Musician.  Searching for "Laiho" "accordion" has results.  The New York Times called them "LAIHO BROTHERS, accordion trio".  Veikko Laiho is mentioned at . Keep because of the coverage in a notable magazine, and I believe they got some attention elsewhere.   D r e a m Focus  11:36, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The creator,, has helpfully scanned some articles about the Trio:
 * at and.
 * Sireti-3 has said that s/he has found "nearly 20" articles about the Trio, and considering the high caliber of the sources above, I trust that those articles contain in-depth coverage of the Trio. The Trio sufficiently meets the GNG. Goodvac (talk) 22:23, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
