<p>I wanted to raise on of the concerns from the MSO question - the issue of duplicates.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<ul>
<li>SO: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/879432/what-is-the-difference-between-a-generative-and-a-discriminative-algorithm">What is the difference between a generative and a discriminative algorithm?</a></li>
<li>CV: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/12421/generative-vs-discriminative/223850#223850">Generative vs. discriminative</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Is there agreement that in these cases, if one is duplicate-targeted of the other, that the questions would get reciprocal links (say, a note and &quot;see also&quot; link at the top of the canonical pointing towards the dupe) and a historical lock, or be merged?</p>
<p>There is concern that the questions might be more likely to be deleted here if they get dupe-closed than if they got off-topic closed on SO, especially if the scores are reset.</p>
