The consensus is against merging Serbia and Montenegro national basketball team to Serbia men's national basketball team since they are different teams.

Montenegro was like 10% of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro. The fact is that a wast majority of players born in Montenegro and represented FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro hold both Montenegrin and Serbian passport. The same case in not for players born in Serbia. Players such as Aleksandar Pavlović and Nikola Peković are the Serbs of Montenegro and both hold Serbian passport.--IndexAccount (talk) 10:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oppose That 10% factor is not the reason for a merge. You wouldn't have the idea to merge Serbia and Montenegro into Serbia. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 10:39, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support, but not with that reason. There are tons of arguments in the archives and I am writing with my mobile phone, so, I can't search them properly. Asturkian (talk) 06:59, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oppose FIBA officially separates them and considers them two different national teams. Plus it's also 2 different countries.Bluesangrel (talk) 02:03, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro and Serbia are two different teams. – Sabbatino (talk) 06:38, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oppose I can't see any good reason to merge. It's clear that this is a different topic, particularly as there are two other successor national teams. It's enough to link to this article in Serbia men's national basketball team and vice versa, stating that the results and medals from this period are claimed by the Serbia men's national basketball team. Merging the two articles would contravene WP:NPOV. Jack N. Stock (talk) 17:24, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Jacknstock:, the merge tag at Serbia men's national basketball team meant that some part of that article (period of 1993-2006) should be here. Text, awards, people etc. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:07, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

That's not what the merge tag said, even before my edit, and it is not what is being discussed here. It might be a separate discussion. Jack N. Stock (talk) 19:33, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
