CV link is spinning

The CV linked is not working: [1]. It appears from the article here that William completed Teach First scheme in 2014, i.e. he started it in 2012. But the second part sounds asif he quit teaching after less than a year, which is a little unfair if he was on TF, with trainees teaching close to a full timetable for two years. Can we confirm somewhere that William started TF in 2012 and completed it? Or that he dropped out of TF early? Pluke (talk) 20:53, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a citation needed tag to William's teaching career summary.

Still not working, three years later. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:26, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

The text says Manchester, while the infobox says Hazel Grove (which is in Stockport), but there are no sources. (FreeBMD says Stockport). Any suggestions? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Search for an RS and correct or totally remove depending on the results of the search? -- DeFacto (talk). 21:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a plan. My search has proved not too fruitful so far... Martinevans123 (talk) 21:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ellwat you've just removed the {cn} tags. Have we both missed the source for birth date? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:06, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I'll put it back. I'll start searching for a source as well. Ellwat (talk) 09:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RE Wragg's birthplace, this [2] BBC article mentions that he was born in 1987 and got a history degree from the University of Manchester. Would this be good enough to replace the dead link? Ellwat (talk) 09:13, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I found that. It's better than nothing, but just supports year and degree. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC) p.s. just for info, FreeBMD here gives his birth year as 1987 (and mother's name WHITE), but does not specify which quarter.[reply]

p.p.s his middle name of Peter can be sourced here. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given that we have no sources apart from FreeBMD, I'd be tempted to put "Stockport" in both text and infobox and keep the tags. But DeFacto's suggestion of removal may be more in keeping with policy. I've also checked Companies House (although also not WP:RS) but it seems the has/had no business interests. We could also try searching the article history to see who added these details.
