Jokela High School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. A 2007 school shooting occurred there, but the school just doesn't have enough significance. In short, this school is non-notable. Karppinen (talk) 19:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep- I could be wrong on this, or consensus may have changed and I'm not aware of it, but as I understand it, high schools are considered to have an inherant notability. Umbralcorax (talk) 19:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Notability_(high_schools).--Milowent (talk) 20:44, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the usual outcome. It would have notability even had there been no school shooting, in the same way that the little town (6,000) of Jokela in Finland would be notable.  Certain features in places (schools, radio stations, etc.) tend to get articles separate from the town itself.  As with Columbine High, there is more to the school than the tragedy that happened there.  Mandsford (talk) 12:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - sources are available to meet WP:ORG. Separately, high schools are significant enough in their communities to be kept. TerriersFan (talk) 14:08, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
