Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was not moved. Primacy not established.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:39, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Mary Peters (athlete) → Mary Peters – Olympic gold medallist who became a celebrity, more important than US politician, who should be hatnote. Relisted. Favonian (talk) 19:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC). PatGallacher (talk) 16:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose - No clear primary topic. --MrBoire (talk) 15:43, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose - Not much more notable. Marcus Qwertyus 11:12, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support Mooretwin (talk) 12:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose The contention that she became a celebrity doesn't seem supported by the article. Is it the bit about death threats from the IRA, in the 70s? George Bush's transportation secretary isn't exactly an A-lister either, but MrBoire and MQ are right—there's no clear primary topic here. --BDD (talk) 18:07, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose no clear primary topic -- the nominator hasn't provided any evidence establishing one. Hot Stop 04:49, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Discussion closed- move opposed. --Gavin Lisburn (talk) 18:17, 6 August 2012 (UTC)- You can't both !vote and close, since the former makes you involved. Favonian (talk) 18:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- It appears Gavin was trying to carry out a non-admin closure. His comment suggests he was trying to rule the request "opposed," rather than opposing it himself. --BDD (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
The 'move' section indicated the item could be removed after 7 days. As it is now over 7 days, I 'closed' it and indicated the concensus as 'opposed'. Why has it been reset again and allowed to run over the agreed time limit? --Gavin Lisburn (talk) 20:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- The discussion was relisted on August 2. Just let it run the extra week; there's no hurry. Favonian (talk) 21:04, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think Favonian should remove his comment above linking me to voting. I have not voted at the present time. --Gavin Lisburn (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- Like at AfD, relisting a request resets the 7-day timer, so this request will be eligible for closure on Thursday. I think anyone reading this exchange can see that you were attempting a close, not a vote, and thus you can close the request at 19:21 UTC on Thursday if no one else has done so. Be sure to follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Non-admin closure.--BDD (talk) 21:55, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think Favonian should remove his comment above linking me to voting. I have not voted at the present time. --Gavin Lisburn (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

First coach
It is stated in the article, "The headmaster Donald Woodman and PE teacher Kenneth McClelland introduced her to athletics with Mr McClelland her first coach." Our memory (my wife Marian and I) as Portadown College alumni is that Kenneth McClelland had been a pupil there but not a teacher. Mary's career had already started to take off while she (and we) were at Portadown College. According to http://www.turtlebunbury.com/interviews/interviews_ireland/sporting%20legends/interviews_sports_mary_peters.html Kenneth McClelland was a PE trainer. We agree about the encourgaement given her by Donald Woodman. Mike Spathaky (talk) 22:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

her style
Why is she Lady Mary? The usual reason is that her father is an earl, but there's no mention in the article. —Tamfang (talk) 14:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
Because she's a Lady of the Garter. It's the same format for dames except the Order of the Garter is unique in that its female members become ladies instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.61.29 (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
I wondered why she is listed as Lady Mary. She is Dame Mary even after being awarded the Garter. Should this not be changed?
Family
Did that person ever marry, or does that person have any children at all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD2:AFD6:0:ED4D:37BF:EDE9:804B (talk) 16:00, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
