Since, I'm the one that initiated this article, I feel it's my obligation to start an initial discussion on ROBERT PETERS and ask for the advices from other editors how to improve this article.

What did Peters do his PhD in? The sentence "He holds a Ph.D." is a bit short and doesn't tell you much, given that he is a professor. It might sound better if it said something like "He studied
Victorian literature for his
Ph.D."

Actor
Has Robert Peters done any notable acting? I notice that this isn't mentioned anywhere, except in the very first sentence. If it is just a hobby of his then it’s probably best not to mention it so early in the article.

Hello Yaris
His acting career ran parallel with his poetry performances and readings. It would be hard for me to say how illustrious is acting career was but he did countless one man performances replete with memorized scripts, costumes, lights, sets & sound tracks and many venues such as at
Barnsdall Art Park in Los Angeles, at the Carpet Company Theatre (now defunct) in Los Angeles, at the Fine Art Theatre at UCI, St Matthews Church near Broadway NY and many more places. These performances are all well documented in RP's journals & scrapbooks replete with reviews etc which are all housed & catalogue at
UCSD Mandeville Collection. I didn't want to monopolize this article and I'm hoping other folks would flesh out RP article as time goes by even though I'm an expert on RP's long productive career. Your point is well-taken. I would be delighted if you are willing to extrapolate from the small amount info I've given here to give notability to Robert Peters acting.

Hi Pjt,
Based on what you have said, I think the best thing would be to remove the word "actor" from the lead and add a section to the article called "Performance", where you can talk about the things you have just mentioned.

Requested move 2 April 2020
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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– There doesn't seem to be a clear
primary topic for the name "Robert Peters". At the least, per
page views and third party search results, the subject at
Robert Peters (politician) seems to be a stronger candidate for primary topic than the subject currently at
Robert Peters, and it doesn't seem as though any other topics listed at
Robert Peters (disambiguation) quality to be the primary topic for this title either. But, at the same time, it doesn't seem as though the subject at
Robert Peters (politician) is the primary topic either. So, I propose to move the disambiguation page to the ambiguous title to allow readers to determine which "Robert Peters" they are intending to locate.

I have no opposition to this counter-proposal. Honestly, as long as the disambiguation page is moved to the base name, I'm fine with any reasonable retitling of the article currently at
Robert Peters.

Robert Peters (Poet and Literary Critic)
"Robert Peters (Playwright)"
I honestly think his title after his name should be (Poet and Literary Critic) because he is notably known for this description as a writer whereas his notability as a playwright is less notable. I tried to amend this but I found it to be very difficult to make this change. I understand the (disambiguate) distinction but the means to get to right course of action to revised his title way too convoluted for me and I hope you set this revision right. thank you for all your illustrious effort with wikipedia Pjt48 (talk) 15:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
I have no objections (or any real input). Suggest using Talk:Robert Peters (playwright) with a new section. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:25, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Since there do not appear any objections in the above RM to using "writer" as the qualifier, I've gone ahead and boldly moved it.
