In classical music biographies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Classical_music/Guidelines#Biographical_infoboxes Which was brought to the arbitration comitee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes
A general essay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disinfoboxes In German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meinungsbilder/Infoboxen_in_Personenartikeln A rough translation of the current situation: "Again and again people infoboxes are created in the German Wikipedia. They are also regularly deleted on the grounds: "DE:WP wants no person infoboxes". Such a statement cannot be clearly determined from the many discussions on the topic, there is even evidence of a contrary opinion of the community, is hereby asked whether infoboxes are wanted in persons articles or not. Currently in the German Wikipedia there are infoboxes for athletes and a few other groups of people." That RFC was closed due to a lack of votes to start it. I don't know if the arrival of Wikidata has changed the perspective during the last 2 years. Cheers, Micru On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 9:51 PM, Amir E.
