Sam Johnson (New Zealand) → Sam Johnson (activist) – The current dab 'New Zealand' is not a good descriptor. As per Wikipedia:NCPDAB, the "disambiguator is usually a noun indicating what the person is noted for being." Well, Johnson is not a New Zealand. It's not clear cut whether he would best be described as a politician (he's a community board member) or a community activist, or simply activist, hence this formal move request.

Support and add to Samuel Johnson (disambiguation) In ictu oculi (talk) 02:51, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Not a New Zealand. However, I'm dubious as to whether this individual is notable enough for an article anyway. Looks a bit like fancruft to me. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about notability. He's an absolute household name in New Zealand, which for a 24-year-old politician is rather unusual. The other day, he (as a right winger) was asked by a senior left wing MP to be her running mate for the Christchurch mayoralty. He would have been a shoe-in; people and the media were rather disappointed when he declined to stand (has to finish his tertiary education). There wouldn't be that much fuss about somebody who isn't notable. Schwede 66 18:23, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
