I disagree that local papers are "not independent enough" to contribute to notability for a biography. says "'Independent of the subject' excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, the subject's website, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent." Still I like to see more than local sources.  cites the essay Wikipedia:Independent sources which does not exclude local newspapers. If the subject were an organization, then  would apply and it does require more than local sources:"On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." This is an inconsistency in our notability guidelines
