Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Riograndense Republic
Your source seems |reliable, and establishes the existence of the republic, and for some verification. Coupled with the earlier book search, it is clearly a notable event in Brazilian history. This is not the place for ideological discussions, and deletion arguaments should only be based upon |policy and |guidelines - I would hope all contributors to this discussion would take a look at the source given by Bigdaddy above, as it looks the real deal.
