Not suggesting deletion, but...
See CZ:Article Deletion Policy#Articles deletable only after editor instruction. While neither of these articles should be summarily deleted, it does seem to be CZ policy that there should not be articles with similar or identical topics, and overlapping coverage. Now, if the articles were written from the perspectives of different disciplines (i.e., under different workgroups), that might be a valid reason to have two, but they still would need to be disambiguated.
This is not tagged as an active Eduzendium project, so would that still apply? I could understand having a student article, during a project, separate from the main article, but nothing suggests that is desirable after the end of the project. Howard C. Berkowitz 11:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
