Edvard Hannula

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Edvard Hannula the only reference provided in the article links to a page in Finnish in which the name Edvard Hannula does not appear. There is one link to the article in the English Wikipedia List of members of the Parliament of Finland, 1919–22 where his name is listed. Next to his name in the Finnish Parliament article there is a reference: http://www.eduskunta.fi/triphome/bin/hx5000.sh?{hnro}=910420&{kieli}=su&{haku}=kaikki Unfortunately, Google could not translate the page for me but it did have his name as the title of the page. There is a longer article on this man in the Finnish Wikipedia with much more content. It doesn't appear that the same user created both articles. I got no other hits on Google for this man. I have read the notability guidelines for politicians and I'm still not sure this Finnish politician has a place on the English Wikipedia. This article is barely a stub. I have removed the reference since it does not even mention the man by name. It is now therefore an article with no references.

I did do a check in books and Google scholar. It did return some books but they were all in Finnish.

Keep. We are not limited to English sources, and the Finnish sources, beginning with the Finnish parliament information page mentioned above [1] verify he was a member of parliament and thus a clear pass under WP:POLITICIAN. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:27, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~Comment~~ per indented note. I took the liberty of adding what I believe is a valid reference. I don't speak Finnish, but Google translate seems to confirm it's the correct page. I need to check things out a little more before voting. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 01:04, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - Member of Parliament meets WP:POLITICIAN. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 02:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Members of national legislatures are notable by definition. See WP:POLITICIAN Lekoren (talk) 07:01, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets a number of inclusion criteria including WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a member of a legislature. Obviously the nominator hasn't read the "notability guidelines for politicians" closely enough and is unaware that sources don't have to be online or in English to be valid. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the spirit of consensus, I withdraw my nomination for deletion. Someone will have to teach me one day on finding obscure Finnish references. I think the addition of even one reference makes a it 'keeper'. Thanks for the feedback, I learn a lot in these discussions.
