Originally badly listed on another entry by Mattbroon. Here is his original text: a clear commercial exercise —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbroon (talk • contribs) 15:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC) asenine ^{say what?} 16:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak delete. On the one hand, we have a source holding them up as representative of Portuguese pop. On the other, the source is in Portuguese and is at a blog site. I'm going to say it comes up barely short of verifiability. —C.Fred (talk) 19:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. I have removed the Publico reference, as it is only attributable in Portuguese. I have added radio play as this is attributed, and additional discography. Independent radio play, reviews and connections to other Portuguese artists show this is not a commercial exercise, but holds true on notability criteria for musicians and ensembles. There is not much English language material available on even well-known Portuguese pop music. This is my first article but I hope to add more English articles on other notable Portuguese music artists and media soon. Altlusa (talk) 09:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep, upon reconsideration. The band has appeared on a compilation CD, and sources are starting to improve. I'm thinking they need the benefit of the doubt on the question of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 03:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
