Helsinki Day has no links in Google News, and no third party results in a web search. Fails to meet WP:GNG. -- Ross Hill • Talk • Need Help? • 22:16, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The day is mentioned in a number of travel books [1], and the GBooks results also include a a snippet from a 1995 New Yorker describing that year's 445th anniversary celebration. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:21, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The appropriate search term is Helsinki-päivä and there is clear evidence in Google that it is well known. In any case, an annual event that has been running for over 50 years and attracts over 100,000 people is clearly notable. Whether English news sites cover it is irrelevant. --AJHingston (talk) 00:48, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
