  • Reviewing this. On first look, the "Declined" section has to have a ref. I suppose the "Declared" section does not need a separate ref as those are the same people in the "Results" section but other people may think otherwise. In the "Background" section, the background ref has to have a ref on electoral system. Full review to come later. Howard the Duck (talk) 04:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Full review needed; Ornithoptera, are you still interested in doing one? BlueMoonset (talk) 10:28, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Hi, my apologies BlueMoonset, been away from Wiki a bit due to a loss in the family. Since things have winded down, I'll try and look at the article later this week. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Ornithoptera (talk) 00:27, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
@Ornithoptera: This is the second oldest fully unreviewed nom and I unexpectedly need a second QPQ (ironically for Gigi Perez, who went viral for a song about her late sister!). Do you still plan on reviewing this or should I take over, probably tomorrow?--Launchballer 14:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Launchballer, it seems like you needed a second QPQ so you're more than welcome to take over, my apologies for the delay. The loss in the family has affected a lot of my concentration more than I would have expected as of late. Cheers Ornithoptera (talk) 21:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
@TheLoyalOrder: I've tried to review this a few times, but I can't get past the fact that the Background section goes into way too much detail for a daughter article (to give one example out of several, content about the electorate should be at Auckland Central). Please cut this right down. When you've done that, I'll try again.--Launchballer 10:04, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
@TheLoyalOrder: Please address the above.--Launchballer 10:23, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Ok I removed some detail TheLoyalOrder (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
I did say 'one example out of several' and I don't fancy getting into a WP:FIXLOOP, so I've cut it down myself. This article is long enough and new enough. I think "the Greens hovering around the 5" should be reworded and I'd like to see a hook that doesn't describe a basic feature of politics, though I don't see a need for any other maintenance templates or a QPQ.--Launchballer 09:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
I reworded the "Greens hovering around the 5" section. tbh I like the current hook, I disagree that its " a basic feature of politics" given it was a first. I guess an alternative could be:
ALT1 "... that Chlöe Swarbrick won the race for Auckland Central in 2020, during which she held a drag show as a campaign event?"

Fine by me.--Launchballer 09:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
