I checked the Portuguese Wikipedia article— it's only reference is to a trivial mention in an online "Dictionary of Brazilian pop music". The only reference on the current page is to what appears to be a social media site called "Letras". I was not able to identify with certainty other sources that discuss this band in non-trivial ways, and although I do not speak Portuguese, the paucity of reference material on the Portuguese Wikipedia strongly suggests that this band does not meet the requirements of the English Wikipedia's guideline WP:BAND.

  • Delete. Letras.com.br is a UGC Brazilian lyrics website and the reference merely takes us to their lyrics there. The PT article is indeed based on a single source. There was a time when being mentioned in that website was alone a sufficient assesrtion of notability, but things have changed and that article, too, is likely to be deleted.
