• Andrew Little (New Zealand politician) → Andrew Little
• Andrew Little → Andrew Little (disambiguation)

– Little has just been elected leader of the New Zealand Labour Party, and he is thus also the Leader of the Opposition. This makes him the primary topic. --Relisted. Dekimasuよ! 01:34, 25 November 2014 (UTC) Schwede66 02:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose for now. One of the criteria of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is that it is much more likely than any other topic. The New Zealand politician has less than double the page views of the footballer: 7457 [1] vs. 4848 [2] over the last 90 days. A ratio of less than 2:1 can't be deemed primary topic, though it's not unlikely that will change in the future. Zarcadia (talk) 13:53, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
• Weak support, per the links given by Zarcadia. The views for this article over the last 90 days are now over 11,000, while those for the footballer haven't changed significantly. My support is only weak because I accept that more time to establish longer term trends in article views would be better.-gadfium 22:15, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
• Weak support, per the same reason as gadfium. Little was only elected last Tuesday so it's still early days, but I've no doubt this article will become the primary topic. This is Paul (talk) 23:33, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose - yes he'll probably be top Andrew Little for a couple of years. But that isn't the definition of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:00, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

• I note that User:Paul MacDermott appears to disagree with you. Schwede66 03:16, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

? Yes, I also see that, Paul says above "but I've no doubt this article will become the primary topic" and then I wrote underneath it. And??? In ictu oculi (talk) 04:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Ah, I wanted to avoid confusion by using the old username (just so when you followed the link, you would see that name there), rather than the new one. But what I had overlooked is that this user has already commented on this under his new username. Very confusing; please accept my apologies. Schwede66 05:03, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I'd forgotten about my comments there, but yes, this guy is leader of an official opposition and is likely to be the top Andrew Little mentioned in media, as well as viewed here. This is Paul (talk) 16:43, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Reformat of infobox

In this edit, I reformatted the infobox and added Minister for Pike River Re-entry which was missing. Most of the entries were in a successor1, successor2 etc line by line format, but several were block entries for each position held. I thought that the line by line version was easier to navigate and easier to delete or add entries without disturbing the numbering, but won't fight over a revert so long as the reverter makes sure the Pike River entry is kept.
