Is this crime victim sufficiently notable? I don't think so. (I do admit that there is a certain amount of irony in that part of the criticism of the media from her case was that she was not given enough coverage, but I do think that notability is lacking, unless we're going to start making all murder victims notable.) Delete. -- Nlu ( talk) 05:41, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- perhaps merge to Murder of Laci Peterson There are a lot of book hits on this one, and they invariably pair the two cases. Outright deletion doesn't seem to be the right solution to this, but I agree that an independent article is hard to justify. Mangoe ( talk) 11:38, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and what should be a policy WP:NOTTRUECRIME. Bad things happen. Newspapers cover the stories. It does not follow that this is sufficient for encyclopedic biography. My condolences to the victim's family and friends. Carrite ( talk) 01:20, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- weak keep - per connection willing or unwillingly to the Peterson case. should pass GNG.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:38, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete The case was only lightly reported at the time. While there are parallels to the later Peterson case, they are not sufficiently noted in Reliable Sources (a letter from a retired politician is not a Reliable Source). Ironically, one of the arguments in favor of keeping this article (in other words, an argument for notability of the crime) is that this case did NOT receive the publicity that the Peterson case did.

- P.S. If the article is kept, its title should be changed to Murder of Evelyn Hernandez per usual Wikipedia practice. -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:31, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Although the murder in itself is not notable, it is highly relevant to the Peterson case, as well as a prominent example of Missing white girl syndrome. People reading up on the former two would be very out of luck to not be able to read about this case. Also, it made national news - Cake~ talk 16:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
