Keep - Article needs improvements for sure. But has participated in Eurovision a major televised music competition the biggest in the world in fact. Per WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 23:22, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - The subject did participate in Eurovision Song Contest 1994, where it finished 22 out of 25. WP:MUSICBIO item 9 indicates notability comes from 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place only. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:43, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then implicitly they must have won the Finnish national heats. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep participating in Eurovision is enough for a presumption of notability; almost all participants will have either won a domestic-level music competition, or will have songs that appear on a national music chart. Even if this group is one of the few exceptions, it is worth keeping this simply for completeness; the information in the article is easily verifiable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 15:20, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't suppose you can find evidence that this band won a domestic-level music competition or had songs that appear on a national music chart? The sources you added to the article only prove what's already available at Eurovision Song Contest 1994. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:47, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - [1] suggests they did win a national-level competition to qualify for Eurovision; I'm not 100% confident in either the source's reliability or the machine translation, though. power~enwiki (π, ν) 14:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Eurovision is a bye for musical notability. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
