Repeatedly moved out of draft by creator in an attempt to WP:GAME. Current article sourcing is atrocious, with 9 refs attributed to their facebook page, the rest being mostly videos, or blog posts. A BEFORE confirmed that no better sources existed online, so I conclude that this fails WP:BAND. Its saving grace could be the two books that are cited, but I couldn't find a copy of either.

Comment - the second book "Marasmo a Cismar" is a poetry book written by one of the band members so no notability there. Music To Die For is legit but I can't check its contents. I had some hope for the Blitz link because Blitz is a prestigious music magazine in Portugal but that reference is only a blog post in their old site. I can't find good sources on them.

Delete I looked through all of the other language Wikipedia pages and found exactly one source that appeared reliable and which had significant coverage: [1]. Tragically, despite having an editorial board and including independent coverage prior to launching into an interview with the band, they make what appears to be an error (or is it, given the lack of other reliable sources), claiming in a 2011 interview that Noctivagus was about to release its first album. I don't think we can consider this reliable, leaving us far short of GNG even if the second cited book has significant coverage. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:57, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
