- Speedy keep. Unbelievable nomination. The Independent obit. confirms she held two world athletics records and competed at world-level championships. Received an OBE for services to athletics. Other coverage easily found: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], and The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. If that doesn't make her 'notable' the project is in real trouble. --Michig (talk) 18:31, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. Easily passes WP:GNG. A clear case of WP:BEFORE. Edwardx (talk) 19:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

- Keep, meets WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG, sources listed by Michig above, shows this. Coolabahapple (talk) 01:29, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy and WP:SNOWBALL keep. Yet another totally unnecessary nomination that fails WP:BEFORE. Searle meets the WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. She was a noted British athlete and a promoter of human rights, specifically women's rights. gidonb (talk) 14:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Indisputedly notable, a noted administrator as well as athlete. I’ve added in some text using the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:00, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
