Non-notable, possibly a hoax. Google searches bring up little other than the single cited source, which, although it does seem to mention the subject, I can't check fully. Adam9007 (talk) 22:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not a hoax per se, but if you look at the article on the township in question, you come to realize this is actually only for one community in the township, other parts of it had settlers before Kovalainen. Even at that Kovalainen came 2 years after the first settler in the specific Finnish community he became part of, so not exactly a "first settler". Even at that not all of Cadillac's companions who were the first settlers in Detroit, or every member of the pioneer company with Brigham Young who were the first settlers of Salt Lake City, all coming on the respective July 24ths to their new cities, are notable, even though those are much more important places. So being a first settler does not make one default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:16, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the above. It is not a hoax (see also data at: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/129608612/elsie-westerberg), but the subject does not seem sufficiently notable to warrant an independent article. Doremo (talk) 06:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
