Article existence / scope

This article is currently a hodgepodge of several different topics. Images of the sovereign, postage stamps, place names, songs, royal visits, and military honours are not "symbols". Flags and coats of arms (anything heraldic) are symbols. Compare this article with Canadian royal symbols, which deals (mostly) with symbols specific to the Canadian monarchy. On the face of it Australia seems to have less uniquely Australian royal symbols compared with Canada, and arguably not enough for a separate article. This article as it currently stands duplicates much of the content at Monarchy of Australia and I would probably suggest merging it into that article. Note that there is no equivalent British royal symbols article (or for any other Commonwealth realms) and there does not seem to be any need for it.

In fact, looking at the edit history and the page views, there doesn't appear to be much interest in this article from either editors or readers. It averages six views per day [1] and there was no increase even during the change of prime minister in August (during which most Australian politics/constitutional related articles saw a dramatic spike). I would definitely suggest merging it into the main monarchy article. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 15:46, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Anyone opposed? If not I'll carry out the merge. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 09:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
