The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
I prodded it with the following rationale: "Unreferenced entry that fails
WP:GNG." It was deprodded by
User:Delirium with the following edit summary: "unprod; there's already a proposed merge, which would make more sense than deletion, if that is the preference (but see talk for an objection to the proposed merge". The proposed merge doesn't address the fact that this entry has been unreferenced for 8 years, and thus fails GNG and V. I looked at Google Books and I am not seeing enough English language sources to warrant keeping this. Maybe there's something in the Finnish, but since nobody bothered to add a single one in eight years... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Merge, as I proposed some years ago. However, I continue to think deletion is unreasonable: either the article should be kept, or it should be merged. There is a reasonable discussion to be had about those alternatives (see the talk page). But there is no reasonable argument in favor of deletion. Therefore I am surprised by this nomination, which seems to me to be entirely without justification. --

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. What is presented it not notable for an article in and of itself; what is mentioned can be placed in the
Outokumpu coppermine article as a footnote.

Merge with
Will-o'-the-wisp]. My Finnish ain't all that (ha), so if someone comes up with some sources that cover this in sufficient depth then fair enough. Until then though, a merge/redirect, as is already proposed, will do just fine. Surprised no-one has
just done it to be honest.

Redirect, merge if referenced The Finnish Wikipedia article on
Will-o'-the-wisp mentions Aarnivalkea as an alternative name to the light phenomenon in the lead (the other is Virvatuli in Finnish). It doesn't seem to be notable as a separate thing, but the Northern Europe section could be expanded with this if someone digs up references. --
