I considered sending this page to AFD, but I found enough on Tomas that I decided he probably was notable enough for an article. That being said, I couldn't find anythign to support the negative comments. We either need something showing that he is not longer living or something reliable supporting those claims before restoring.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 20:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Those claims were reinserted with sources, but the sources themselves were problematic and I have again removed that material. I do not know Portuguese, but this article fails to support some of the more lurid claims made in a paragraph about some explicit videotapes (phrases cited do not appear at all in that source). I'm not certain, but it seems possible that the article does not discuss the controversy at all, as from what I can gather it basically is discussing his work. This appears to be a primary document and is the sole source for a controversial claim about his professional life, though Taveira is discussed on that page, and the claim could be true. We cannot go off of primary sources for that kind of thing though.
The BLP issues here are significant, as are questions of weight, since most of the previous version of the article was given over to controversy rather than a discussion of his career. Please do not re-add the material in question without discussing it here on the talk page (I'd also appreciate a note on my talk page if such a discussion begins, though I have watchlisted this). We almost certainly need better sources, and we also need help from Portuguese-speaking editors. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 04:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

BLP issues edit

The Video recordings affair subsection of this article contains a long, entirely unsourced passage that is highly problematic for a biography of a living person. I'm going to remove that section, and I would ask anyone who wishes to restore it to please include reliable source citations. A Traintalk 13:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
