I've undone the merge of two years ago for a variety of reasons.
The first is that the Theora page no longer has a VP3 section. A person looking for information about VP3 will no longer find it in the Theora article. The second is that VP3 is not, any more, Theora. Theora has been substantially worked upon since 2001 and while Theora is the anointed successor to VP3, it certainly isn't the same, any more than MPEG-2 is the same as MPEG-1.
I hope this change is uncontroversial. Some times merges seem to make sense at the time but end up destroying the original information because the new article doesn't have the merged information as its focus. VP-3 is notable, it's something that exists as an independent entity, and this merge is a clear demonstration that merging articles doesn't always serve to improve Wikipedia, even when done (as it clearly was) with the best of intentions. -- 66.149.58.8 ( talk) 12:33, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
