Lack of notability. By all appearances, a private numbering scheme established at the non-notable wiki "jarviwiki.fi" (apparently connected with Finnish Environment Institute, but no independent coverage, at least not in languages other than Finnish); seems almost like an elaborate joke.

- Delete I don't think it's a joke, but I have never heard of such numbering scheme, and it is not used at least by the National Land Survery. Also, Wikipedia is not a directory. As a sidenote, I can't help to wondering how many tax euros were wasted in making the jarviwiki.fi site – while it has elaborate structure it appears virtually unused. --hydrox (talk) 19:21, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Responding to my own comment: [1]: The site is rather new. It was apparently inaugurated only in September. It might be that it is not yet publicized, which might explain low participation from the public. --hydrox (talk) 19:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete arbitrary naming of non-inhabited places. If reliable sources come to light that that this is an official numbering system, ping me on my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:51, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
