Opposed speedy move request

- Category:Best Sound Mixing Academy Award winners to Category:Best Sound Academy Award winners
Oppose the above two as Best Sound is a merging of two award categories (sound mixing and sound editing). No objection to the creation of the Categories, but treat them as a new award category, preserving the distinct history of the earlier award categories: Category:Best Sound Mixing Academy Award winners and Category:Best Sound Editing Academy Award winners.

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: The category was first called Best Sound Recording (example), later was renamed to Best Sound (example). By 1964, the Academy added Best Sound Effects (nowadays Best Sound Editing), but still calling Best Sound (Mixing) "Best Sound". It was until 2004 when they renamed Best Sound to Best Sound Mixing. This is not a split, they merely merged Best Sound Editing here as they used to before 1964. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 22:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great, so it seems like there should be three categories then. One for when all sound (mixing and editing) was considered one category, one for mixing by itself, and one for editing/effects for the years it was its own distinct awards category.
