Once again, no reliable sources given to verify any statements made about her career. Probably, possibly, contains OR too. WP:NMODEL Trillfendi (talk) 18:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Once again, WP:N says that notability is not based on the state of sourcing in the article. Arguably the mid-1990s coverage of the subject as a prominent victim of a scam targeting fashion models might not be sufficient on its own. But the subject has received plenty of coverage as part of a group of 1990s Finnish models called (by The Sunday Times in 1999) the "Finnish mafia", and even some coverage for her transition to a real estate career. A search of Finnish-language sources is also fruitful. Article could use some improvement, but that's not a reason to delete. Added two sources to the article to confirm some personal data.

Bakazaka I never said it was about sources in the article. (Especially being that the NYT one wasn’t even there. I said that in my “before” I wasn’t able to find more reliable sources to establish notability (for modeling at the very least), therefore I proposed deletion.Trillfendi (talk) 20:49, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep About half of the article is (and was from the very beginning) sourced to a May 2010 issue of the Finnish Elle, which I believe is a reliable source so I don't see a big problem with unverified statements. The height of her career was probably pre-Internet so it's not that easy to find online sources, but she never disappeared from the public eye, and for example a major newspaper reported her breakup from her fiancé in 2015 [1]. Last year she had a cover story in a women's magazine (online excerpt). In 2005 the biggest Finnish newspaper reviewed her autobiography (paywall) and described her as "maybe the most globally successful model from Finland". -kyykaarme (talk) 11:06, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
