Little indication of notability. In fact, looks like one author's pet project. Orphaned for a decade. PepperBeast (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning delete. Google Scholar shows very few hits, mostly bachelor's or master's theses and a book that looks to be self-published (I Sing Support For You: A Self Help Book With Music for Parents and Caregivers of Children Affected by Trauma or Toxic Stress). The more scholarly sources are very few, by a rather small group of authors and look to only mention the model in passing.

Kristiina Brunila; Elina Ikävalko; Tuuli Kurki; Ameera Masoud; Katariina Mertanen; Anna Mikkola; Kalle Mäkelä (2017). "Transitions, Justice, and Equity in Education in Finlandlocked". Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education. doi:10.1093/acrefore/9780190264093.013.130. Looks to only mention the model in a footnote.
Kristiina Brunila; Elina Ikävalko; Tuuli Kurki; Katariina Mertanen; Anna Mikkola (2016). "Revisiting the vulnerability ethos in cross-sectoral transition policies and practices for young people in the era of marketisation of education". Research in Comparative and International Education. doi:10.1177/1745499916631060. Mentions the model, but does not define it or discuss it in detail.
Elina Ikävalko; Tuuli Kurki (2014). "Tutkimuksen rajoilla kuljeskellen.". In Kristiina Brunila; Ulpukka Isopahkala-Bouret (eds.). Marginaalin voima! Aikuiskasvatuksen vuosikirja 51 (in Finnish). Kansanvalistusseura & Aikuiskasvatuksen tutkimusseura. Referenced in one of the above. I don't have online access to quickly check whether this mentions the model at all, but I'll take a look whether we have physical copy in the stacks and will report back.

For non-scholarly sources, there appear to be a bunch of Google hits for various kulttuuripaja things (which, I think, are the activity related to the model), but the name is so generic (lit. 'culture workshop') I doubt we can draw any kind of equivalence or claim that all things discussing kulttuuripajas are necessarily related to the GFP model. Independent sources look to be scarce. For example this STT text is actually an non-independent press release. There's something about an award, but I cant figure out how big of a deal it is.

I'll also note that the original creator's username indicates it's a WP:ROLEACCOUNT (contrast sospedsaatio to Sosped-säätiö). That makes this all feel somewhat promotional. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found a copy of Ikävalko & Kurki (2014), it appears wholly unrelated. Based on what I've seen, absent someone identifying some good independent sourcing, I'll go with delete. Ljleppan (talk) 12:30, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Although the award provides a shred of notability, the article goes off topic and does not talk about the subject itself. The news report barely mentions the article's subject, only doing so in a paragraph. Tarantula^TM (speak with me) (my legacy) 04:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
