BLP1E. It's actually 2 or 3 events for each of them if you count the other minor criminal offenses, but they are in no way notable. Coverage of the event at Westside Middle School massacre (which may need renaming for NPOV), and I see no verifiable information that needs to be merged. No redirect needed as it's an unlikely search term. Atmoz (talk) 00:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: As tragic as these events were, they, and the people who committed them, are very notable (sadly). Both of these men notoriety and their subsequent engagements with the law (and in Johnson's case, imprisonment) are important. These cannot be expressed in the Westside Middle School massacre with the same clarity. This article should remain in its current format.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 03:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC))
 * Keep The public not unreasonably considers these things notable, and the sources demonstrate it, and so do we. The only question I see is whether the article should be split for the two of them., DGG (talk) 05:55, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable for their role in the Westside Middle School massacre and especially as one of the few examples of school shooters who live through the incident and rejoin society. People don't question whether Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are notable, but they are dead so we can't learn much from them. Andy Williams, the shooter from Santana High School is alive, but remains incarcerated. These two have been released, and one of them has had significant legal issues, while one appears not to.
