I found a working link for a source about the first electric light in the Nordic countries. The article and this nomination have been updated. JIP | Talk 02:43, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found another source by the city of Tampere and added a little more information about the building. JIP | Talk 02:59, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The English Wikipedia doesn't have an article about Satakunnankatu but the Finnish Wikipedia does. As I speak Finnish natively I could translate it but it's going to take one day. Alternatively I could just delink the street name. JIP | Talk 03:01, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added more material about the industrial building and the restaurant. JIP | Talk 01:17, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JIP approved! Would go with ALT1, unsure how to specify that. Shushugah (he/him • talk) 09:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
