I removed the merge template. This article is fine as it is. Reasoning:

  • The name of the municipality is Lappi, both in Finnish, English, and any other language you can think of. It is never known by any other name.
  • The name of the province (which is unrelated), is Lappi in Finnish only. In English, it is Lapland, and in many other languages it's also Lapland or Lappland.

Therefore, since this is the English Wikipedia, we use English names for Finnish places that have English names, and Finnish names for places that don't. JIP | Talk 18:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
