 * Delete. No evidence whatever of notability. Each of the cited sources merely includes the name of the band in a list, and makes no other mention of it. Searching for other sources needs to be done with care, because "Força da Paz ", meaning "power of peace", occurs far more often in other contexts, unrelated to the band, than in relation to the band. However, it is easy enough to deal with that problem by including in the search term other information, such as the names of one or more members of the band. For example, a Google search for "Força da Paz" "Jonas Shnaider" produces 57 hits. The first few of these are English Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Facebook, Soundcloud, Youtube, Youtube again, Youtube again, a tumblr page that merely includes Força da Paz in a list, a page telling us that on 29 September 2012 Força da Paz organised an event (presumably a gig, but it doesn't say) which was attended by 68 people, and so it goes on. Similar results come from other searches. No sign of significant coverage in independent reliable sources anywhere. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The Google links are Portuguese, and don't meet RS. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
