Infobox

Infobox. A full infobox would be useful (as other Auckland Mayor candidates have). With date of birth, current offices etc. This should be able to be obtained from public records (from his previous offices) and news sources.

This source says 1946 rather than 1945 [[1]]

Possibly companies would be relevant? His public directorships can be obtained here: [[2]] TransControl (talk) 22:36, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've found a freely-licensed photo of him. Not very good, though. See his Commons category. Schwede 66 03:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move

I suggest following his mayoral win this should be moved to 'Wayne Brown (politician)) --TransControl (talk) 02:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Full legal name Wayne Kelvin Forrest Brown

I not a few sources , including search of directorships just use the short name , which brings up many Wayne Browns.

The historic data for Television New Zealand Ltd directors shows his full legal name is Wayne Kelvin Forrest Brown

Doesnt seem to be easy to alter references to a more specific search of 'this' Wayne Brown Okerefalls (talk) 20:00, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

flood response section is poorly written and badly cited

The facts of Brown's response are still emerging and it seems there is too much hype around the situation to present a factual account at this stage. Citation needed tags have been removed without citations added, and opinionated language has been removed then reverted. This is a controversial subject and should be locked if it continues to be editorialised. 2407:7000:A227:1400:148C:8831:EEF1:E98B (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
