Year/date of birth[edit]

Quotes used to derive birth year (1986) are both in this article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/76443761/national-portrait-taxpayers-union-founder-jordan-williams

He is a "29-year-old" as of 3 February 2016.
"At just 25, Williams fronted the 2011 anti-MMP campaign". Vote For Change, the anti-MMP campaign, launched on 27 June 2011 (https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1106/S00333/vote-for-change-campaign-launched.htm).

He must have been born between 3 Feb and 27 June, 1986.

A reference added today (https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/young-leaders-get-no-buzz-out-of-beehive/TQ3FTZB7PNTRZ5OKOLWXENHZ4E/), from 2 March 2007, says Williams was 20 at the time. So that narrows the birth date window to 2 March - 27 June 1986.

Disambiguation[edit]

The current disambiguation Jordan Williams (New Zealand lawyer) is longer than needs be; there are no other lawyers of the same name. However, before we commit to Jordan Williams (lawyer), I wonder that it might be better to use Jordan Williams (political activist)? It doesn’t seem that he’s best known as a lawyer, after all. — HTGS (talk) 04:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When I originally created the article I considered "(lawyer)", but since that didn't seem quite right as a definition of the guy I added "New Zealand". But you're right, "political activist" is a better, more familiar description. — Elguaponz (talk) Elguaponz (talk) 21:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Newsroom investigation into TPU[edit]

I've had these tabs open for months but not gotten around to using them yet. Lots of good info from David Williams about TPU, transparency, and the 2023 election.
