Year/date of birth
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
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)


 * 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)

Newsroom investigation into TPU
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.
