A merge of this article and Sápmi (area) was discussed in Talk:Sápmi (area)#Merge Lapland (region), but no consensus was reached. Labongo ( talk) 07:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
...nor do the Sami call themselves "lapp". This term was used by outsiders, (i.e. non-Sami) to describe them. Please fix this or I will remove it. Dinkytown ( talk) 19:52, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
"Lapland" traditionally only refers to certain areas in Sápmi - in Sweden and Finland. Finnmark (Norway) and Murmansk (Russia) have recently began marketing themselves as "Lappland" due to the success of tourism to Finland's Lappland. Areas like Troms, Nordland, Trøndelag and Jemtland-Herjedalen, however, have never been referred to as Lappland - though they are part of Sápmi.
This article seems to be based on the misunderstanding that Lappland is coterminus with Sápmi (which already has a lengthy wiki page). It needs cleaning up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.156.29.128 ( talk) 14:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
This article had certain issues.
There is much to be said about Lapland, and this cultural region deserves its own wiki article. But Lapland is not coterminus with Sápmi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.156.29.104 ( talk) 09:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Adding a map to this article would be a capital idea. Even better would be a dual map that shows the reader the differences between Lapland and Sápmi.-- Hokeman ( talk) 00:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Don Laird also documented it is also the spiritual home of Santa Klaus. — Preceding

"The name Lapland refers to land inhabited by the Sami people, formerly called Lapp people, which is now considered derogatory..."
Why is it considered derogatory? Blaylockjam10 ( talk) 11:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
