- Yes, that’s the point. Skimming both articles will show that the other one is objectively superior in most or all ways, likely including content (this one seems to have changed less since initial version in 2006 and in terms of reflecting due weight of quality (i.e. non-news, non-pundit) sources has not aged well IMO).

- Merge with
Legality of the Iraq War. Seems like a POVFORK, although which one is a fork of which, shrug. This is a notable topic, but one article will suffice. --

- According to the handy top gadget, this one is a year older (although this gadget also says someone named TwoOneTwo created the Main Page). But it’s much lower quality in all respects and gets slightly less than half the pageviews.
- But yeah, I’m cool with a merge.

- Merge as suggested seems fine, this is basically covered in existing articles and has been debated more than enough over the last 20 yrs to cover all points in one article. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:26, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
