Article about a "virtual" (long-distance learning) university in Colombia, created in 2010 by a WP:SPA who hasn't edited since, and it's never been updated. It's certainly not a hoax, as evidenced by this article from the same year [1], but there doesn't seem to be anything on the internet regarding the university after this date, which suggests that Mr Altahona was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts to persuade the Colombian authorities to grant his virtual university a licence, and that the university no longer exists. Mr Altahona now appears to be the head of a similar virtual education facility to teach students to high school diploma level [2]. Please note that the original web address for Southamerican University was www.southamericanuniversity.org – I have been unable to discover if this university was in any way affiliated with the similar long-distance learning facility South America University based in the US, which originally had the almost identical web address www.southamericanuniversity.com and is now located at www.sau-edu-us.

- SoWhy, J947: can either of you explain why this AfD doesn't seem to appear in any of the three deletion sorting discussions listed above, which may explain why nobody has yet taken part in the debate? Richard3120 ( talk) 04:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- @ Richard3120: You tell us, you were the one creating the AFD with those lists already in place. I just assumed you had added them. No worries, I'll add them again. Regards So Why 06:13, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
