This is a regional newspaper which we have many already accepted on Wikipedia and are notable with the right references. This should have had a improvement notice not deletion. davidstewartharvey 23 October 2018

Comment Juan Diego Sanchez from Bogotta I have found several independent sources with a few minutes. They are in the article now.
Keep - This is quite a large regional newspaper, to suggest deletion is extreme, but the accusation of primary sources is correct. I would state that the originator has not applied the right clean-up template to the article. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 22:07, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable local newspaper. There is nothing wrong with refs from a subject's own website. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:51, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. References now in the article indicate sufficient substantial coverage in independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Qwfp (talk) 19:09, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
