Why this wasn't speedily deleted I will never know. Blatant self promotion (User:Alandefreitas), only six results on Google news and I'm not even sure if what's there is about him. His "official website" is a poorly done "Google Page" that caused my browser to freeze up when I clicked on it. Amazon doesn't have any of his albums.

  • weak delete. I agree that it is self-promotion. Also, there is no evidence that he is on a notable label or has ever been on the charts. He does seem to have gotten some third-party coverage, though, so that weakens the delete. Firestorm Talk 17:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also agree that it is self-promotion so far, very clear on the user name. On the other hand, one can not assume that something doesn't exist just because there's no enough info about it in English. After this post I can write a very long list of Brazilian bands which are very notable but wouldn't be easily found on Google nor Amazon, but are in Wikipedia. Actually, bands without a label are hardly found in those ways of media (specially Amazon) but it doesn't make them smaller. It would be better if someone could research a little and write something that seems more impartial about it and solve the problem instead. (List of notable bands in the same case: O Terço, Mutantes, Casa das Máquinas, Som Imaginário, Bacamarte, Bixo da Seda, Moto Perpetuo, Somba, Cartoon, Cálix, Secos e Molhados, A Barca do Sol, Sagrado Coração da Terra, A Bolha, Som Nosso de Cada Dia, Arion, Quartena Requiem, Recordando o Vale das maçãs, O Peso, Pão Com Manteiga, Terreno Baldio) alvesjoao 18:08, 8 April 2009— Alvesjoao (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. the same is true on wiki.pt
  • Speedy delete: None of the sources are reliable + cross-wiki spam. Algébrico (talk) 14:49, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete: No reliable sources, no notability since all albuns are probably home-made (I looked for it on some online shops and I didn't found anything). On the top of that, it seems to be a cross-wiki spam. Lechatjaune (talk) 17:32, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete: I agree with Lechatjaune, this article is irrelevant and a cross-wiki spam. OffsBlink (talk) 18:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
