Deleted from portuguese wikipedia per AfD. pt:Wikipedia:Páginas para eliminar/Poder Paralelo (10 delete x 1 keep, 9 of the ones who vote for delete are brazilians). The basic reason is WP:CRYSTAL. Descíclope (talk) 22:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - To paraphrase the sole dissenter: the article is well-written and has good references, Google has plenty of hits about the soap opera. If it's well-written, has lots of references then there's no reason to delete. Correct me if I'm wrong here, my Portuguese is rusty. You are correct in the WP:CRYSTAL reference, however that establishes that articles about future "things" are valid if and only if they are notable and well-sourced. Is that not the case here? Certainly a major telenovela on the second largest television network seems notable to me, as does the cast. Also, I'm not assuming bad faith or anything but a 10-1 ten-pound hammer delete vote on an article that detailed seems kind of weird. Each project has it's own idiosyncrasies of course. §FreeRangeFrog 23:40, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Usually you can only be sure about one or two weeks before, when they start airing the commercials about the new soap opera. Several brazilian soap operas are canceled or change their names: it happened a lot on pt wikipedia. That's why people on pt wikipedia hate these articles. It's completely crystal because no one can be sure if it's going to air. I'm not against recreation when/if the soap opera starts. Descíclope (talk) 01:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is definitely crystalballing. No predjudice against recreation if this show ever comes out. Edward321 (talk) 23:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: notability not established WP:CRYSTAL. JamesBurns (talk) 05:39, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
