Conclusion

The kata are not duplicates and both will be kept.

[hobovsky]

I think that however easy/boring/dull both kata are, they are not similar enough to be considered duplicates and I would not remove any as a duplicate of another.
However, 2. is in not a really good shape and deserves retirement just because of this. Description is confusing, does not explain what "whitespace" is, tests do not check for said whitespace except two characters.

I vote to keep 1., and fix or retire 2. due to bad quality.

[ejini6969]

I agree with hobs, the rank for 2 is also abit inappropriate

[Kacarott]

Keep both, I think the premise of 2 makes a worthwhile 8kyu kata if the description (and potentially tests?) were rewritten.

[KayleighWasTaken]

If we're keeping just one then 1 is better, but both are different tasks. 2 needs a description/tests rewrite.

[akar-0]

Keep both an fix 2.
