Mostly sourced to the band's own website. There are four Rolling Stone Brasil sources, but two are very short announcements of an album and a music video and one is an interview with a former member. The fourth is an album review which is something, but beside that there's only a Whiplash page which is also an album review but I couldn't speak to the reliability of that website. They do meet maybe a couple points of WP:BAND, namely the gold certifications and possibly with the several awards this page credits to them (all unsourced so needs verification + no guarantee any meet "major music award" status). Would not be surprised if they've also charted in Brazil but I couldn't find anything for that, and I'm not sure if Universal Music Brazil counts as a major record label since it just redirects back to the UMG article and isn't even mentioned by name there. Unless there's more coverage out there that I missed, keeping this would be a stretch at best. QuietHere (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (but clean up) - One challenge here is that most of their sources are in Portuguese and are tough to nail down with a standard Google search. The band is featured regularly in Rolling Stone Brasil beyond minor blurbs, including one cover story: [1], and several lengthy headline articles: [2], [3], [4]. Most of their albums get reviews in that magazine of a length similar to what other artists get. Their many appearances at the MTV Brasil Awards can be found under a search for that show's local name, VMB, such as: [5] and another from Rolling Stone: [6]. Also, the reason Universal Music Brazil redirects to UMG is because it's a subsidiary and that makes it part of a major label. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:25, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the band also has five album articles and one video article, which will have to be handled in some fashion if the band's article is deleted (which I already voted against). I think most of those can be redirected to the band's article. The article for Lucas Silveira (Brazilian singer) should also be redirected to the band because he has done little outside of their works, and that article seems to be frozen in 2017. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Went for a bold redirect of the Silveira article. The albums will need more investigating since there might be enough coverage for some of them. Thanks for your searching; I thought I had seen everything there was in my own search but I guess I missed those RS Brasil pieces somehow. I'm willing to withdraw this now but with a note that it definitely needs the cleanup like you said. QuietHere (talk) 00:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
