Talk:Stan Goosman

Article is misnamed
Sir William Stanley Goosman was popularly known as Stan, not William. Our article's first reference is to Barry Gustafson's book The First 50 Years: A History of the New Zealand National Party (1986), throughout which Goosman is called Stan. On page 70, for example: "An exception in Cabinet was clearly Stan Goosman, a very wealthy man who had started his working life as an ill-educated farm labourer." In the book's index, he is listed as "Goosman, Sir W. S. (Stan)." We also cite a 2009 Waikato Times newspaper story by Roy Burke that likewise, in its only mention of Goosman, refers to him as Stan.
