 * Keep. Meets both WP:BAND and WP:GNG. A Google search instantly found three articles from El Diario de Hoy (a high circulation national newspaper), and Gbooks found Encyclopedia of Latin America Popular Music, Central America Newspak, ISLA, El Salvador in the Aftermath of Peace: Crime, Uncertainty, and the Transition to Democracy  (covered over three pages), HighBeam has an article from the Chicago Sun-Times on the banned single. --Michig (talk) 06:52, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, the article is in an absolutely dreadful state at the moment, but, with effort, it could be cleaned up using the sources that Michig provided. Deletion is no substitute for a bit of elbow grease. CtP  (t • c) 02:18, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Which ones, though? None of the links provided above by Michig seem to be mirror sites to me. CtP  (t • c) 16:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
