This Portuguese text looks like the content of a song, or probably material from multiple songs, by Madre Deus. I see no encyclopedic potential. Since I'm not sure if this is a copyright problem, I'm taking the conservative approach and listing it here. Sietse 21:50, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * abstain keep  notable singer. I do not think that the lyrics break copyright or that is a serious breach of copyright. Andries 22:03, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: please consider Wikipedia is not (primary sources section) and Don't include copies of primary sources. Furthermore, this is the English Wikipedia - hardly a place to include Portuguese lyrics without at least an explanation in English. Sietse 22:11, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Sietse, I know, and may be the current content should be deleted but she deserves an article. Andries 22:25, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete copyvio - lyrics by living authors are most definitely copyrighted. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 06:08, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - have rewritten the article. Salgueiro is the lead singer of Madredeus and has been so since 1987. She also appeared in a prominent role in the Wim Wenders 1994 Lisbon Story I have rewritten the article accordingly. Capitalistroadster 08:09, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Damnit, this is what I get for trusting people. Now we've got copyvio in the history. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 08:42, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Capitalistroadster, so that the history will make it clear that the article we have now is yours and so that we can get rid of the copyvio, would you mind cutting and pasting your version to Teresa Salgueiro/Temp? Then I (or some other admin) can delete the copyvio and move yours to the correct title. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:37, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * OK. Will do.Capitalistroadster 10:29, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Someone seems to have copied the contents to the temp page and blanked the original. Thanks to whoever it was. I apologise for not understanding the implications of a copy violation and will no do this in future. Capitalistroadster 10:37, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - no reason to delete. Brianjd 10:56, 2004 Dec 11 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can be expanded. Teresa Salgueiro is notable enough. utcursch 12:54, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - Now that it has been rewritten into an encyclopedic form, it should be kept and expanded as necessary. secfan ([[User_talk:secfan|Talk)]] 13:33, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * I think this entry can be delisted from VFD when an admin has deleted the version of the article that has a possible copyvio in the history and moved the 'clean' current article back. Sietse 15:38, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I've done the move and deletion. I don't know the ritual on what happens with this entry once VfD is closed, so someone else needs to do that part. -- 21:31, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC) unsigned comment by User:Jmabel
 * The VfD period will run its course then the discussion will be moved to the Old page until someone formally closes and archives the discussion. See Deletion process if you're interested in helping with that clean-up.  By the way, even though the question seems resolved, I'd recommend strongly against closing the discussion early.  It tends to create ill will.  Rossami (talk)
