Talk:Jones v. City of Opelika

Merger proposal
I propose that Jones v. City of Opelika (1942) and Jones v. City of Opelika (1943) be merged into Jones v. City of Opelika (which is currently a redirect to the first case). The 1943 decision was a rehearing and reversal of the 1942 decision, so the two articles describe the same case. The 1943 article is a stub. Both decisions can be explained in a single article.

 * Oppose on the assumption that the convention is to have one article for every notable decision of the SCOTUS. If the members of the SCOTUS WikiProject are amenable to allowing one article to cover two decisions, I will withdraw my objection.  --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 06:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Example of one article covering two decisions: Brown v. Board of Education - there were actually two decisions, Brown I, and Brown II. Brown II is covered in a subheading of the article.  I would also like to hear more opinions on this from people in the wikiproject.  LegalSkeptic (talk) 03:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
