I see no reason why this page does not merit entry in Wikipedia. The Portuguese-language Wikipedia has a very lengthy and in depth article on this group and I simply thought I would add an English-language stub to complement it. Furthermore, this group was being linked to in other English-language Wikipedia articles, such as Trem das Onze. A search for the group's name on Google yields over 150,000 hits.

So why exactly does this article not belong in Wikipedia?

If the group has been in existance for over 60 years, then it should be fairly easy to find references which will back up that fact. A good number of references will also help to establish notability. WP:BAND requires two albums as far as I know. Can you show that the group has made at least two albums?

Of course I can, there are over a dozen albums listed on their Portuguese Wikipedia page and I'll just copy over that list. I can add a reference if you'd like too. Wikipedians are so into deleting things these days without doing anything constructive...Benjaminbreen (talk) 21:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, reference and album list added. Benjaminbreen (talk) 21:49, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've declined the speedy deletion. You say that theres an article on the Portuguese wikipedia. You can link to it by placing [[pt:(article name here)]] on the page. Also, {{cite web}} is preferred over bare url refs. Please expand the article if you can, and add more references or this could still end up at WP:AFD.
