An unsourced, one-liner about the illustrator of a book. No improvement two weeks after concerns raised. COI since the article was created by the author of the book. Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:CREATIVE. I don't read Finnish so I'm listing this here rather than for speedy A7 in case there is evidence of notability out there that I missed. Meters (talk) 18:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's difficult to find much about the book in question since most sites don't list that ISBN, but according to Good Reads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36098415-muru-ja-puru it's an 80-page kid's book published Aug 21, 2017 by Books on Demand. I assume that means it's self-published. Maybe we should just speedy this as promotional? Meters (talk) 18:35, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't see that the subject has done any notable work. The book she illustrated is self-published by the editor, see this edit Mduvekot (talk) 19:11, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is not only "kid's book", it's a fairytale for children AND adults. The writer's book Ikävää, väki? has been two years the most popular in the category of linguistics at eKirjasto (library), and still is. It collects the statistics of all Finland's libraries. Another book, Naaraan, was 14 months the most popular in poems/aphorisms (2nd at the moment). Isn't this notable if the Finnish references are accepted? So you can imagine that Muru ja Puru has many levels. This book has been published last month, therefore I know it's too early to evaluate it's notability. No chartings are available yet. If the voters want to evaluate all the references, site Risto Rekola should be returned - at least temporarily.

- This AFD is not about the notability of Risto hot sir's book. It is about the notability of the illustrator of the book. Whether the book is only for kids is irrelevant as to whether the illustrator is notable. Whether other books by this author or others exist (notable or not) is irrelevant as to whether the illustrator of this book is notable. Whether the book the illustrator worked on eventually become notable is irrelevant as to whether the illustrator is currently notable. The author's website is not a reliable source to help determine the illustrator's notability. Meters (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Karoliina's grandpa is Tapio Tapiovaara and his brothers are Nyrki Tapiovaara and Ilmari Tapiovaara. Risto hot sir (talk) 21:44, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Whether the illustrator's relatives are notable is irrelevant (see WP:not inherited). Meters (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
