This article can be improved with the many available reliable third-party sources; it shouldn't be deleted just because the current state isn't very good (see , ). This topic has substantial coverage from regional news, including the Santa Barbara county press and http://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article69778692.html San Luis Obispo county; topics don't need to be of substantial nationwide interest to pass .
