What if I just cloned the repo, created a repo of the same name under my own account and then pushed up my local clone to the new repo?

  Nothing is stopping you from doing that. The preferred experience is not to do it though.

    I should have completed my question in my earlier post. Specifically, would doing that instead of creating a fork through Github's interface prevent one from losing access to their project when the previous copy is deleted from Github?

      Yes.
