Mike Baird is the shadow minister of youth affairs.♥
The source we currently have says "born in 1968" then later "born 1 April 1969". That sounds like double speak to me. It was written by 2 authors, who apparently did not check each other's copy. Previously we had 2 April 1968, so this is already something of a moveable feast. We need a really reliable source to fix this now. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 00:18, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Should this article be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? Stats.grok.se shows this Mike Baird easily has more article views than the other 3 combined. Timeshift ( talk) 04:49, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 15:54, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Mike Baird (politician) → Mike Baird – Clearly the primary topic for the diminutive form of the name, as opposed to Mike Baird (musician). Significant politician and premier. Stats.grok.se Use of this tool indicates there may even be an argument for him being the primary topic for "Michael Baird" too going by page views, but it's probably better to keep the disambiguation on that one for now.

After one support and one oppose appeared, I was a little worried the motion may not carry. May I say thanks to all for what is a no-brainer move. Timeshift ( talk) 01:32, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mike Baird's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

@ Abacrombi: I noticed your deletion and, having given it some thought, reverted. Of course material about the subject's immediate family is pertinent to the story of that person. Moreover, caring for people with dementia is part of this person's life, at the family level and, it seems, at the career level too. Please make your case to have it removed here.

@ The Little Platoom: Howdy, I do not think it relevant because it is not stated as an actual reason for him taking the job (he actually said somewhat of the opposite). He said that he has a history with aged care facilities, "He said all families had been touched by aged care, including his own." but that "despite his personal experience, Mr Baird says he had not thought about a role like this." I therefore say that it is not relevant to this section, however would make a perfectly fine addition to a personal life section. Cheers! [1] Abacrombi ( talk) 10:48, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
