How sweet it is
Trouble is, Interservice Rivalry revolves around government agencies. This won't fit as an Internal Subtrope without broadening too much.
My suggestion would be to bring it to TLP.

Checking the existing Interservice Rivalry page, I'm not sure; the Real Life section includes such things as the Sega of Japan/Sega of America rivalry, so the trope might be more flexible than we thought. But TLP is also a solution if we think that this is worth a trope in its own right.
I despise hypocrisy, unless of course it is my own.

There's a chance that the Sega example may be shoehorned. Could fit here when we broaden Marketeers Vs Engineers into a company-based sister trope.

This trope seems to be "two people in diametrically opposed disciplines need to work together for some reason; conflict results from their different disciplines." I don't see a reason for this to be specific to corporations or the workplace, especially considering how few examples there are of "marketers versus engineers."
Other diametrically opposed people (in fiction) may include:
- athletes vs band geeks (make an entertaining game)
- writers vs publishers (creating a form of art versus selling a product)
- an arts student and a STEM student working on a project together
For new name suggestions, maybe Teammate Rivalry or Interdisciplinarity Rivalry?

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
The clock's long out. Should we just cutlist this, or send it back to TLP?

Well, if the clock's out and nobody does anything, it usually would just mean "no action."
I guess I didn't vote for anything in my last comment. I support this going back to TLP. There's a trope here, but the current page is way too specific and that specific concept is too rare to trope (but broadening it could solve the issue, as I explained in my last comment).

But why should we cut this as opposed to try to salvage anything?
This trope reminds me of The Expert
. It's a trope worth having, so I vote for sending back to TLP.

Long stale, so closing.

Not sure whether this phenomenon is tropeworthy or not, but the page appears to be a Living Relic of the elder days of TV Tropes when we didn't really care if people threw down random zero-context pages. Two related links (one across languages), a total of two clear examples.
Personally, I'm tempted to make it an Internal Subtrope of Interservice Rivalry. Thoughts?
