Comment. Here is an article about this embassy's mirror image: the Finnish embassy in Argentina: "Ylen saama asiakirja paljastaa, kuinka Suomen suurlähetystö sulki Argentiinassa ovensa diktatuuria pakenevilta – väkivaltaisuuksissa katosi myös Suomen kansalainen" [The document received by YLE reveals how the Embassy of Finland closed its doors to dictatorship in Argentina - the Finnish citizen also disappeared in the violence. The embassy in Buenos Aires gave instructions in the summer of 1976, when soldiers had taken power in Argentina.]. Yle Uutiset (in Finnish). April 1, 2018.

Comment. Embassies and consulates are sometimes located in historic buildings or buildings of particular architectural merit. They may also be built to resist explosions and earthquakes better than other buildings in their city. So it would be worthwhile to look for references about the building where this embassy is located, including the Finnish equivalent of the National Register of Historic Places.

The embassy doesn't have its own building, and instead it's in an office building (image on Commons). -kyykaarme (talk) 20:45, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:GNG applies here - the embassy has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - basically all the article does is say its an embassy and give the address - Wikipedia is not a phonebook WP:YELLOWPAGES - Epinoia (talk) 22:02, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article is not written very comprehensively. In its current state, it looks like a delete. However, looks can be deceiving. There is a rich history of the embassy, its role in the Dirty War included. Wikipedia rules are that notability is the key to an article, not the quality of writing. This is notable.
