Premature content fork edit

User:Jordanrschroeder posted the following to the message today the CFWP page as a notice of the existance of this new article:

2007 Florida vs. Ohio State BCS National Championship Game - This is similar to the other 2007 BCS article, but this one gives SPECIFICS about the two teams or will. The other one is a general one that WikiProject sets up every year. This one, as it gets larger, will have information about the coaches, team and what led up to the event. I don't think it should be deleted, it will just be a seperate (DIFFERENT) article. Anyone can help? That would be great.

We already have BCS National Championship Game 2007 for content about this game. The existing article is already the right place for the content you are proposing.

I am very much opposed to a content fork on this topic at this time. Especially since this is a game that has not even been played. How can a content fork possibly be needed? Why can't you cover what you want to cover at the pre-existing article?

I propose that 2007 Florida vs. Ohio State BCS National Championship Game be redirected to 2007 Florida vs. Ohio State BCS National Championship Game. Johntex\talk 18:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Since this is a brand new article that is virtually the same as the existing one, I see no reason not to just be bold and do it. I'm going to go ahead and make the change per this comment and per the talk on WP:CFB. --BigDT 20:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
