Talk:Kiri Allan

Rename to Kiritapu Allan?
I'm sure her friends call her Kiri but it's still a nickname, and more often than not her full name is used in media. I don't think it reaches the "Bill Clinton" threshold. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 01:52, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Since you have made a counterfactual claim, it is you who is obligated to support it. Nobody is under any duty to run around researching the matter, merely in order to indulge your vanity, so that you can then deny reality yet again. 24.168.114.73 (talk) 06:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Hmm... "Kiri" is used on all of her social media (fb, twitter, electorate twitter) and her Labour Party profile (https://www.labour.org.nz/kiriallan). But "Kiritapu" appears on her beehive profile (https://www.beehive.govt.nz/minister/hon-kiritapu-allan). My impression is that "Kiri" is more common in news, but since you've come to the opposite conclusion, perhaps we need to quantify that? Furius (talk) 06:46, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm also not convinced. I see her being referred to as "Kiri" much more regularly than her full name.  Schwede 66  04:38, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I have rarely if ever seen her full name used. I know Google hits is a very blunt tool, but "Kiri Allan" brings up 3,620,000 results and "Kiritapu Allan" brings up 411,000 results. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
