message: As far as I know, Hernandez is only notable for exposing Jayson Blair. A separate article on her may be worthwhile if she becomes notable for some other reason, or if she's already notable for some reason I don't know.Pha telegrapher (talk) 21:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I was fascinated by this angle. And while the series was interesting, nothing notable here. It seems to have been added to an anthology that is on Texas' approved list, so it shows up in many schools in that state, but just as part of an anthology. Jd2718 (talk) 01:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
