Los Zodiac

This was hard to assess, especially as there are varying spellings used. I couldn't find enough to show it meets WP:NBAND / WP:GNG. Survived 2005 AfD ([], but standards very different then.

 * Redirect to Peruvian rock:
 * From this it seems like there is some level of coverage in 2018's Demoler. El rock en el Perú 1965-1975 by Carlos Torres Rotondo
 * There may be some leads from this: "Very little has been written about the History of Rock in our environment. Only sketches (as some newspapers usually publish) and some studies such as the one done by Jose Miguel Gonzalo Garcia, entitled Development of Youth Music in Peru, give us a brief idea of this whole matter. But the closest thing to a treatise on the so-called underground current or alternative music comes from the university works of which I mention (but always from a giraffe perspective, based more on journalistic data or conversations with subways, than on personal experiences), the job that my friend Miguel Lescano did at the beginning of the 90s, or the Underground Rock -10 Years of Wild Operas by Alvaro Olano Dextre. All of them are the first formal attempts to capture a history of underground rock. Someone will try to object to me by saying, what about Pedro Cornejo's book? I'm sorry to contradict you little brother, but the Game without Borders - Approaches to Contemporary Music that Pedro published in 1994 is not considered, not even by Pedro Cornejo himself, a total work, at least it is not what many (like me) expected from Pedro Cornejo Guinassi, graduate in Philosophy, professor at La Católica, participant in the first years of underground rock, editor and collaborator of alternative publications and other publications."
 * es-wiki does not have an article for them, and nor are they actually covered at es:Rock_del_Perú or es:Historia_del_rock_en_el_Perú
 * They are not the Los Zodiacs from Getxo in Spain who had a song in a Pepsi ad (see this from El Correo)
 * I can't see what's in Torres, etc, but there's otherwise a dearth of reliable sourcing for the band other than being one of a number of early 60s Peruvian rock bands. Unless adequate info is discovered in Torres or other RS, redirect with retention of history and categories seems the sensible option. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak keep or redirect to Peruvian rock. There is a good case for notability made based on which, while brief coverage, indicates they were a significant band in Peru during the early years of rock'n roll in that country. I would image most of the sources for this band would be offline and in foreign languages (Spanish, Quechua, etc.) given the age and the locale. I'd be fine with redirecting with no prejudice against recreation if someone is able to dig up some better sourcing with more in-depth coverage.4meter4 (talk) 22:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
