Quality of sources and applicability[edit]

As per WP:BLP: All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. As per WP:RS: Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact. Human interest reporting is generally not as reliable as news reporting, and may not be subject to the same rigorous standards of fact-checking and accuracy (see junk food news).

As such, this link: https://veja.abril.com.br/blog/reinaldo/mtst-8211-como-se-constroi-em-sp-a-farsa-de-guilherme-boulos-o-coxinha-extremista-que-se-quer-pensador-universal-e-caiu-nas-gracas-dos-idiotas/ can NOT be considered a reliable source. Furthermore, the sentence that uses this citation already has a reference: http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2014/05/1450519-filosofo-lider-dos-sem-teto-saiu-de-casa-para-ser-militante.shtml to support it. Further references are unnecessary. If you want to work these references into the article, please, go ahead, keeping in mind that this is BLP and MUST be kept in NPOV.

Likewise, since the content of the sentence has been sourced, the following citations are unnecessary and add nothing: http://noticias.terra.com.br/brasil/noticias/0,,OI128826-EI306,00-Semteto+deixam+terreno+da+Volks+em+Sao+Bernardo.html https://socioeconomia.org/guilherme-boulos-o-brasil-e-uma-disneylandia-financeira/ http://clicrbs.com.br/especial/sc/sos-sc/19,0,380538 https://politica.estadao.com.br/noticias/geral,invasores-de-terreno-da-volks-ja-chegam-a-3-mil,20030720p35815

Again, if you want to work these into the article that would be different.

Then we come to the prison section, which is more controversial. https://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/rodrigo-constantino/artigos/guilherme-boulos-mtstpsol-nao-pode-ser-candidato-presidente-tem-que-ir-preso/ is an editorial, so it doesn't meet WP:RS or WP:V. The article accuses him of using 'violent actions', but the citations don't support that claim, as as per W:BLP they should be immediately removed. The closest you come is in https://exame.abril.com.br/brasil/guilherme-boulos-lider-do-mtst-e-preso-em-sao-paulo/ where he is accused of attacking the police with fireworks. If you want to rephrase it as 'alleged violent actions', with the proper context, I would have no objections. Otherwise according to that article he's been charged with civil disobedience and 'inciting violence', neither of which constitute 'violent actions'. According to https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Brazil-Social-Movement-Leader-Arrested-for-Resisting-Eviction-20170117-0018.html he's been accused of 'inciting violence' and 'contempt for authority', themselves not violent actions. If you can source a court decision finding him guilty of violent crimes, please add it, as it would resolve this issue. Otherwise, as per BLP this claim cannot. stay. --Obonicus (talk) 14:17, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
