Requested move 23 July 2017[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Mary of England; incoming links fixed (FWIW, only two out of ~50 had been mis-linked to a wrong Mary). No such user (talk) 08:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mary of England (disambiguation) → Mary of England – Whether there is primary topic here is rather arguable. Mary II was queen for a slightly longer period than Mary I, by around six months. Per similar discussion at Talk:Henry, son of Edward I with Henry of England, I see no reason why those arguments cannot apply here. The title of Mary of England is ambiguous. --Nevé –selbert 20:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Mary I is not the primary topic. Srnec (talk) 23:55, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. I was leaning "oppose", leaning she is the PrimaryTopic. Mary II is always designated "II" (except where context was clear, such as William and Mary, while Mary was never designated "I" during her lifetime. I consider the PT question arguable, more than "rather arguable". Talk:Henry, son of Edward I is not similar enough, this case unlike that is displacing a famous regent from her correct title as of her lifetime. I am swung instead by consistency, noting in particular, Charles of England. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
