Notable for actions during one event, the 2011 Tucson shooting. While there has been several news articles about him after the shooting, there is nothing to indicate that in the future he will satisfy WP:BLP1E. Atmoz (talk) 22:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

• Keep – The "event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented". In addition, there has been "persistent the coverage...in reliable sources." Seven days after the shooting there is still coverage of the individual in major outlets. [1] ttonyb (talk) 23:29, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. This article fails WP:BLP1E; no evidence of notability. PeterSymonds (talk) 23:37, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete/redirect Unless Mr. Hernandez goes on to do something else notable, for the rest of time, the article will merely consist of his actions in this one event and the followup. There is nothing in this article that could not be covered in 2011 Tucson shooting. NW (Talk) 23:40, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete per all of his coverage stemming from WP:BLP1E --Muboshgu (talk) 23:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete for now. While further events are possible, at this point he's not a particularly public figure and publishing personal information is inadvisable. His actions during the event can be covered in the main article. SDY (talk) 23:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. He seems to be an estimable young man, and will quite likely deserve a page in a few years, but for now it's WP:BLP1E. PhGustaf (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Keep. The guy saved the life of a U.S. congresswoman. That's a pretty significant and noteworthy accomplishment. The President of the United States was among those who gave a standing ovation for the guy. In terms of the pure essence of what constitutes "notability," it would be my hope that Wikipedia would recognize the value of such heroism. His page should be kept.

• Delete - Fails BLP1E. If there's ever a second E, it can be considered when it happens. — Gavia immer (talk) 01:45, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2011 Tucson shooting, although "delete" would be my second choice. The redirect is consistent with the essay at WP:1E, where persons famous for one event still get the "honor" (to the extent that having an article on Wikipedia is an honor of some sort) of having their name as a search term. For that reason Christina Taylor Green, the little girl killed in the shooting, does not have her own article, but has a redirect to the event. While I think that WP:BLP1E is often misunderstood, it is appropriate in those cases where there would be no recollection of the person except in the context of the event. Mr. Hernandez is one of many heroes, and the lack of his own separate article does not detract from that in any way. Mandsford 01:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Redirect per Mandsford. I wouldn't be surprised if he gains notability, but for now, redirect as with CTG and similar search terms. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Agree with Mandsford. DS (talk) 04:43, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Strong delete/redirect Most obvious case of WP:BLP1E I have seen in 2011. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 20:11, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2011 Tucson shooting -- he played a significant role in that event, but I don't think Wikipedia policy allows him to be the subject of a biographical article. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 00:19, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
• Redirect. With all due respect to Hernandez, any article about him will only be either about the part he played concerning the Tucson shootings, or padding, unless and until he does something else. Perhaps he will, but until then, the part he played is best described in the article about the event. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:37, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete per BLP1E, not redirect as it is unlikely someone will type "Daniel Hernandez (intern)" to search for this individual; an update of the disambiguation page for Daniel Hernández should be sufficient. He is mentioned by name for his actions in the main 2011 Tucson shooting article and may attain his own notability in the future, but alas, WP:CRYSTAL. KimChee (talk) 06:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
• Delete - per Kim - Haymaker (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
• Keep – For the same reasons exposed by ttonyb. For consideration: how is this individual's one-time event on saving a member of Congress' life different from say that of Chesley Sullenberger? netk (talk) 6:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
• Keep, BLP1E states "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." He's a teenage gay Mexican-American who saved the life of a US politician in a very high-profile event. He is also an activist. He is already being honored as a teen, as a gay American, as a Mexican-American and as an American hero. His case story has already been contrasted with that of Oliver Sipple.
