Vulcano (band)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet WP:BAND. I'm not finding significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Only reference provided is to a fan written biography posted in AllMusic. Contested prod RadioFan (talk) 17:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:MUSIC. The Allmusic biog is described as "fan-written", but is cited as written by Eduardo Rivadavia, one of the most prolific Allmusic heavy metal contributors, and an easy WP:RS pass. The biog contains a claim to notability in the description of Vulcano as "one of Brazil's first heavy metal bands of note" and "having no small influence upon" Sepultura. They pass WP:MUSIC #6 with multiple releases on the notable indie Cogumelo Records (see Metal Archives for discography here). In terms of print media, I found non-trivial coverage in Terrorizer 's Secret History of Black Metal (September 2009); there's a whole section on the band on page 17, focussing on the South American scene, which contains the quote: "Many believe that Vulcano not only kick-started musical blasphemy in Brazil, but throughout most of Latin America". I imagine there are more out there, but that's certainly enough to justify inclusion. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 18:48, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If that Terrorizer ref can be cited in the article in a WP:V way, I'll consider withdrawing this AFD.--RadioFan (talk) 20:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. 20:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Reliable, significant coverage (calling the Allmusic source a fan written biography is ridiculous and I can confirm the coverage in Terrorizer), historical importance in Brazillian metal music, 2 albums on Rock Brigade which appears to fulfill criterion 6 of WP:BAND. --Michig (talk) 20:02, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
