COI article creation (per creator's username). Mentioned in passing in a bunch of sources, but I'm really not finding the required in-depth, independent coverage * Pppery * it has begun... 00:48, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep: The organization seems to have changed their name to EastCham Finland, see following sources. Searching the English name does not give many results, but using the Finnish name does. A few articles I found are: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, around half of these websites are behind a paywall, so I'm not too confident about the quality of those sources, hence the weak keep.

- Comment the sources found by ARandomName123 are quite strong, Helsingin Sanomat is the largest newspaper of Finland as well as the newspaper of record. Talouselämä is a large economic magazine and Maaseudun Tulevaisuus is a mid-sized newspaper. The former name "Suomalais-Venäläinen kauppakamari" is used more widely in sources.

- weak keep In terms of notability, I think the sources identified both here and in the article are sufficient for a GNG/NORG keep. There's also a good ref from 1946 in the fi.wp article. But I certainly wouldn't object if someone stubified the article by e.g. removing the whole "Description" section. - Ljleppan ( talk) 11:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per ARandomName123 and Ljleppan the significant coverage is rather obvious from the sources given, this more seems to be the same issue I've seen on Swedish-subject AfD discussions where it's difficult for the WP:AVERAGE wikipedian to participate and judge the sources being discussed. -- AlexandraAVX ( talk) 10:22, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
