I'm not a wikipedia editor, I'm just a random guy, but I've never seen a figure like Mozart without an infobox. It seems wrong, like there's something missing from the wikipedia page. It obstructs important info like his birthdate, death date, and relatives. I assume it's the result of some stupid internal wikipedia politics but I am firmly pro-infobx 169.232.71.165 (talk) 19:29, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Oh look, another pointless war around an infobox that the same people as always are going to spend all their energy arguing against no matter how many people bring it up. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 13:20, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
The ongoing edit war needs to stop. I see above that there are some saying that consensus has changed based on talk page discussions while others suggest that the last RfC result still holds. While a talk page discussion can be sufficient to demonstrate consensus, given the current challenges, not to mention the history involved, an RfC (ideally closed by an uninvolved editor) is the route that will likely be needed to show current consensus.

The Wikipedia of the archived messages are a different time compared to what the current consensus is and it doesn't help that the latest citation for "consensus" was over 7 years ago. As AHI-3000 pointed out, if other classical composers can gain infoboxes then I don't see why Mozart is an exception, especially given that it doesn't violate WP:DISINFOBOX considering the length of the article and there should perhaps be a new review for consensus.SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 03:32, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
I don't personally have a preference one way or the other, but I agree with Barkeep that given the history of this argument it would be a good idea to have an RfC. Not because I think it would change the outcome of this discussion (it looks like there's a growing consensus to add an infobox), but because it would stop people from edit warring over it with the excuse that there wasn't enough discussion.

Most people agree that the infobox should be brought back. I for one think that it's utterly stupid not to have an infobox since it provides lots of information in a concise way. The consensus is that it should be brought back. So bring it back! TheFriendlyFas2 (talk) 06:04, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
