[edit] Merge with Huntsville Havoc

I'm proposing that these two articles be merged together and that one be deleted. They refer to the same franchise, and should be regarded as such. I will likely see what I can do about elegantly melding the two articles together, but if someone else has more time and skill then have at it. Of course, those who don't like the idea should also let their voices be heard. --EazieCheeze 06:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Just from a quick read over the articles, it appears they are different franchises. They are different leagues and different names. The only "legacy" they carry forward is they are in the same building as the old franchise. I don't personally care if they are combined or not, but I have seen other scenarios where duplicates such as this remain. --otduff (talk/contribs) 14:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
They are two different franchises, but the transition was almost seamless. Those who didn't follow the news may not have even known. 9 players from the Cats' last season moved to the Havoc. The main reason the new team was adopted was to simplify the scheduling (the Havoc are owned by the same people who own the arena football team) and to cut ties with Cherney's shady business deals. There used to be some articles about the switch here, but I can't get them to open. I'll email the webmasters and try to get some more information for the Cats page. Havoc information should be easier to come by.
As for combining, I would vote no, but I'll understand if you want to do it. Chris 09:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
