(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I have deProded the article, because i think it need full discussion. Prod rational was:

I have proposed that this article should be deleted for the following reasons:

There are no references or links within the article
The article has reference numbers "[1]" that are dead, and not relevant with the article, which may be proof that this was copied from another article.
The article is *very* poorly written, to the point of being nonsensical.
If the article was better written, it could have been merge with another article, such as Finnish folklore, but since its not, its better to start from scratch.
Using derogatory phrases as "lapp" in stead of preferred "Sami", which are no longer in use by academics.
It makes no reference to who the Sami are within Finnish culture, describing them as "lappalainen" with no decription as to why they are important within Finnish culture.

For these reasons, I propose that this article be deleted. Dinkytown talk 21:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per prod rationale. Completely unreferenced and poorly written. Appears to be original research and duplicates topics covered by Finnic mythology/Finnish mythology. Gobonobo ^T ^C 21:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's a (poorly written) essay, not an article: delete as OR. Jonathunder (talk) 14:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
