Proposed merge of MainActor into MainConcept

MainActor doesn't meet notability guideline yutsi (talk) 18:10, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment MainActor or MainActor Broadcast (Amiga versions in the early to mid 1990s) is/are probably notable for a stand-alone article (I was able to find few reviews and other articles in Amiga magazines of that era), but a merge is a good course of action for a time being. If anybody wants to expand the article, I can provide sources I found. Even after a merge, the article can be recreated later anyway. Pavlor (talk) 11:13, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

  Oh, could you post those sources here? I hadn't encountered them. yutsi (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Yutsi, any further thoughts on this? The merger has been pending for a couple months and I'm wondering if it needs further discussion. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:38, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
