But, as you said, Atletico de Kolkata ceased to exist but it was rechristened to ATK. That ATK was a different club from Mohun Bagan.
Now, since ATK has merged with MB and has ceased to exist, according to you, why should there be two threads, Atletico de Kolkata News" and Mohun Bagan News" since they are one and the same club?
One of the two threads becomes irrelevant in that case.
I saw that you have done edits on the new page.. I would say it is a rebranding but not a new club.. The owners bought stakes in the Mohun Bagan football club and the Club itself is the second majority holder. So its like Vijay Mallya buying stakes in the club. The confusion has arised as the same owners already had a club called ATK and those words have been added to the new name.. Most importantly the club will be playing in AFC tournament based on the eligibility of the Mohun Bagan club itself and the licensing criteria fulfilled by it as Mohun Bagan
It's a new club. ATK and Mohun Bagan football teams cease to exist anymore. If Chelsea and Tottenham merged, then they wouldn't be two different clubs anymore, it will be a new merged entity.

Agree with Samyajit.. no need to close any thread.
May be we can rename this thread to ATK Mohun bagan or can create new one
My comment,as you can understand, was made in a jocular vein
Goenka had to swallow the bitter pill posing with the iconic Bagan jersey! That says it all
RIP ATK
Would be great to know for wikipedia.
