 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough. QPQ done. Well-referenced, including the good enough hook. No close paraphrasing or copyvios found. NPOV enough. My Portuguese is very weak, but there are enough sources in English anyway. My only concern is that the result is disputed and that there is a court challenge before it can be fully ratified. However, the hook is essentially true. Edwardx (talk) 20:57, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Right, the challenger is contesting the result, so it might be a good idea to hold this at least till after the court rules later this week. We could also say something like "Vaz, presumed president-elect..." or even "Vaz, whose recent election is being challenged..." if we want to cover our bases.-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 22:14, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
