Article was originally speedy deleted as G11. It was then recreated and most recently was dePRODed by an anon-IP editor. The article still suffers from overly promotional tone, and does not establish notability per WP:NMUSIC. The cites provided are not strong reliable sources and the only claim of notability I am able to locate is that he was honoured by ARTEtv. I am unable to locate reliable sources to verify that claim though. But I may be having difficulty finding sources because I do not speak Portuguese, and am happy to withdraw the nomination if someone can turn up significant reliable source coverage to establish notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per lack of notable coverage. Aside from MySpace, Facebook, official website, YouTube and iTunes links, I didn't find anything notable on both Google and Yahoo! searches. SwisterTwister talk 22:12, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RS and WP:INDY. Existing sources seem too "glowing" to be reliably independent. Also concerned per WP:COI, since the article appears to have been written by a WP:SPA. Richwales (talk · contribs) 03:25, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
