First come, first served?

Is it OK to ask a new player to change their character concept if it conflicts with an established player's?

For example, in a game my husband ran a number of years ago, I was playing a medium. A new player wanted to join the game with a character that was virtually identical to mine (with some very minor cosmetic differences). My husband advocated allowing him to play the character, contending that it "wasn't fair" to ask him to change his character concept.

I was worried that our characters would be fighting for "air time." A number of people I talked to agreed with me, and contended that it was "first come, first served."

Thoughts?
