Delete. This word is mentioned as synonym of mesimäyrä (“honey badger”) in the Finnish Wikipedia. From references in this article one can learn that rateli is mentioned in Matti Nurminen's book Maailman eläimet: Nisäkkäät (translation of English original The Encyclopedia of Mammals, in the series World of Animals). Wikipedia's text seems to have been copied to numerous websites and even some press articles using exactly same words as in Wikipedia (tunnetaan myös nimellä rateli - also known as rateli). On top of these mentions I see no independent usage of the word in a text and thus it does not seem to conform with our CFI. It appears in some crosswords, though. --Hekaheka (talk) 06:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
