Talk:Ice Hockey World Junior Championships

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)

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? ColtsScore 08:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
