i'm not sure how a standalone article on a company's seal/logo is notable or encyclopedic in this case - it doesn't appear to have significant in depth coverage in rs in any language and what little can be sourced can probably just be placed in the company's article.

• Merge to Silja Line. There's some coverage, but niche/unreliable (at least one cited source boldy declares itself to be a press release). There's room in the target article to absorb this. -_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:30, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD discussion includes a proposal for merger to Silja Line, and a notice of the proposed merger was posted to that page on June 25. As such, this AfD discussion may need to be extended or relisted to incorporate input from that page. Thanks, Kevin McE (talk) 15:44, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, but it would probably be good to have Estonian/Finnish input to see if it has any real merit (I see there is an article at Finnish Wiki). Advertising characters can go on to have multifaceted careers, but the test would be whether it has any meaningful reference away from the ferry company, as others in the category 'Advertising characters' presumably have.

• Comment A close parallel exists in the case of Ville Viking and Viking Line, but there I have simply proposed a merger. Kevin McE (talk) 16:27, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge as per above. I'm not seeing any meaningful coverage in Finnish media. Fi.wp cites mostly non-independent sources. There are two Markkinointi & Mainonta stories, but I've always felt a bit iffy about how independent that magazine can actually be seen as. The vibes I'm getting is more along the lines of "glorified press releases/marketing" rather than proper journalistic content. In any case, the stories are not much either: [1] ("we made a new logo which is no longer smiling"), [2] ("there's an interactive screen with the mascot on it on one tram stop").

• Merge per all. The substance of this article comes from press releases and other inappropriate sources. There is a compromise to merge and there might be enough reliable material to preserve after someone removes the marketing/PR stuff. Jontesta (talk) 01:40, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
