Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nidal Malik Hasan
I think  is a largely misused and misunderstood guideline, and this is an excellent example of how it should ''not'' be used. In any event,  clearly states "the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered". The degree of significant of this event, and this individual's role in it, is massive, and thus I think an article on Hasan ''and'' the shooting is appropriate. To say Hasan is not notable beyond the shootings is as ridiculous to me as saying Charles J. Guiteau, Waleed al-Shehri or John Wilkes Booth shouldn't have articles because they aren't widely known beyond their respective events. My bigger concern is the one voiced by {{User|Martin451}}: that Hasan has not yet been convicted of anything, and thus there are potential BLP concerns. But given the fact that there is already clearly a ''large'' amount of scrutiny and attention being given to this article, I think any BLP violations that come up will be quickly disputed and addressed
