[edit] Proposal to merge

2 articles, same topic. Both well written, but the other one seems to be fit into the overall Category:Ice hockey tournaments better. Also, I think the other name is better. ... ColtsScore 08:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
also, the other name fits well with Category:World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. ... ColtsScore 08:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actually, I want a new name along with the merge

The IIHF still calls this tournament the 'IIHF World U20 Championship'. Here's the IIHF calendar with 2006-07 U20 listed. I know the Swedish site for the 2006-07 calls it the World Junior Championships, but the IIHF is the organizing body. I think their name should stand.
World Juniors, WJC, World Junior Championships (etc, etc) are the common names, more recognizable for marketing, and so they get used a lot. We can make redirects for all those names and point them to the article.
I also think there should be a "IIHF World U18 Championship" page too. This tournament occurs in April, and has nothing to do with the 'world junior championships' in Dec./Jan.
Finally, the IIHF World Championships are the men's over 20 ones that just took place in May.
Three different articles, with the official IIHF names. What does everyone else think?
