 * Merge back —PC-XT+ 11:30, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment would Infobox comics species also be in line for merging into Infobox fictional race sometime down the road? -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be another discussion, if someone proposed it, (unless you think we should merge this one in, now, and propose the other for deletion, later.) From a quick look, the race template shares enough commonality with these to be a tempting merge candidate. —PC-XT+</tt> 20:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Infobox NBA rivalry (13 transclusions)

Redundant to Infobox sports rivalry. There is nothing unique to a National Basketball Association rivalry compared to other sports. The ability to overload an infobox by itemizing up to 20 playoff series is not needed; such detail should be in the body of the article. Replace all existing transclusions prior to deleting. —Bagumba (talk) 02:08, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment NBA rivalry articles like Celtics–Lakers rivalry used to use Infobox sports rivalry before they were replaced with this template being discussed.—Bagumba (talk) 02:18, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 *  Merge Delete per nom - wholly redundant. Lol, this guy sounds a lot like the late User:Universebri. Rikster2 (talk) 02:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom, ludicrous threats aside, this is clearly redundant to the sports rivalry infobox.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 09:57, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 *  Merge Delete per nominator....William 10:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:08, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment To all who !voted to merge per nom, my nomination is actually to delete after replacing.  Can you specify what you believe is worthwhile to merge?  At any rate, we share to same the common sentiment to not keep Infobox NBA rivalry.—Bagumba (talk) 19:14, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The NBA rivalry infobox includes a few extra fields, if some of them are useful in other contexts they can be merged to IB sports rivalry, otherwise it can be just deleted.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 00:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think the added fields were essential, as WP:IBX advises "The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagumba (talk • contribs) 00:08, 5 March 2014
