Draft:Väinö Rouvinen
| Submission declined on 20 July 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The sources aren't quite enough to establish notability per WP:GNG: #1 is about an exhibition of his; 2 makes only one passing mention; 3 seems pretty solid, but alone isn't enough; and 4 just confirms the receipt of the Pro Finlandia medal. I'm also not seeing anything there that would suggest obvious WP:ARTIST notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:52, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
