Weak keep Right now, the article does not provide even basic geographic context. However, I was able to find two academic sources about habitat destruction in this area, [1][2]. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:55, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - one of the most important dry forest habitat in Jamaican, site of the country's largest protected area (Portland Bight Protected Area), last stronghold of the endangered Jamaican iguana and Jamaican hutia. For example [3][4] and this scholarly article which calls it a "biodiversity hotspot within a hotspot". A few seconds on Google yields more than enough hits to demonstrate the notability here. This is a rather extreme failure to apply WP:BEFORE. Guettarda (talk) 04:18, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Appears in local news articles, easily passes WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 07:16, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article additions by SportingFlyer address any referencing concerns. Meets WP:GEOLAND. AllyD (talk) 08:10, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It now seems to be meeting WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. Excelse (talk) 23:14, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
