A "Elizabeth II of Australia" does not exist. Queen Elizabeth II is monarch of Australia at the same time as she is of the United Kingdom, however the title "of Australia" is pure nonsense and amounts to original research. --Gryffindor (talk) 03:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Keep This category is for images of Elizabeth II acting in her capacity as the Australian monarch. Going by w:Monarchy_of_Australia#Title, the official Australian title is: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. But that seems a little long for a category name, and Elizabeth II of Australia is a good enough summary. It does not make sense to move the images (as you tried to) to "Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom", since that is not the capacity she is acting in. The English Wikipedia have had a long discussion and called their primary page "Elizabeth II", to encompass all of these roles, and that would make sense here too (i.e. create a super-category). --99of9 (talk) 04:11, 23 June 2010 (UTC)- Keep According to the Australian Royal Style and Titles Act 1973[1] her title is Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.. Where her image is use on Australian coins and stamps its as Queen of Australia, like wise when she is in Australia or representing Australia its as the Queen of Australia not the United Kingdom. My preference is to categorise as Elizabeth II as it conform to the Royal Style and Titles Act 1953 which say all dominions are equal, the inclusion of Australian images under a UK catgeory implies that Australia is subserviant to United Kingdom thats factually incorrect and rather offensive. In the recent request to move to Category:Elizabeth II you opposed saying that British monarchs are at XXX of United Kingdom therefore its only logical that the Australian Monarch is at XXX of Australia as it would be for XXX of Canada rather than being at the subserviant categorisation of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

She is monarch of Australia, but her name is not "Elizabeth II of Australia", because that would imply that there was an "Elizabeth I of Australia". Gryffindor (talk) 01:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- now that is original research, Question did you read Australian Royal Style and Titles Act 1973[2] her title is Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.. Gnangarra 02:04, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
