Navbox consensus

There are plausible reasons for modifying the navbox templates at the bottom of the page at BRIC. An opportunity for discussion needs to be part of any process which precedes change. Three arguable improvements are:

A. Combining two of the current navboxes at the bottom of the page?

• template name should be {{BRIC}}—Template:BRIC?
• new template would be similar to {{APEC}}—Template:Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
• this would mean removing {{BRIC countries}}—Template:BRIC countries?
• this would mean removing {{BRIC summits}}—Template:BRIC summits?

B. Deleting the current leaders navbox?

This is a poor subject for a navbox because leaders change irregularly over time. The functional utility of this navbox is not greater or better than one which only shows member nations.

• this would mean removing {{Current BRIC Leaders}}—Template:Current BRIC Leaders?

C. Perhaps decision-making may be helped by comparing an array of similar groups and templates?

• 21 in group> Template:APEC?
• Template:Current APEC Leaders?

• 18 in groupp> Template:G-15 nations?
• Template:Group of 15 Leaders?

• 8 in group> Template:D8 nations?

• 4 in group>Template:BRIC countries?
• Template:Current BRIC Leaders?
• Template:BRIC summits?

• 3 in group>Template:Trilateral meeting?
• 2 in group> Template:G-3?

• No navboxes yet> G77•G33•G24•G10•G5

• 20 in group> Template:G20?
• Template:Current G20 Leaders?
• Template:G-20 leaders' summits?

• 9 in group> Template:G8 nations?
• Template:Current G8 Leaders?
• Template:G8-Foreign?
• Template:G8-Finance?
• Template:G8-Defense?
• Template:G8-Justice?
• Template:G8-Interior?
• Template:G8 summits?
