:I don't have a strong view either way, but I doubt the benefits. The infobox which was added has a non-free image of Edda as a child of four (which is on the page anyway and which isn't terribly good for giving an "at a glance" summary of a 74-year-old), plus links to Edda's parents, who are linked in the lead already. The subject isn't complicated, and I think some benefit would need to be suggested.

A pointless addition. The details contained in the ex-infobox were three facts that were repetitions of the opening line of the article. Really no need for it at all, either as it stood, or in most other ways. To try and summarise the life of a seventy-something year old in a few trite facts is unnecessary. - ] (]) 21:30, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Infobox

The Infobox, which I recently added to this article, has been removed with no other reason given than "rm, please gain consensus before re-adding". It should be restored. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't have a strong view either way, but I doubt the benefits. The infobox which was added has a non-free image of Edda as a child of four (which is on the page anyway and which isn't terribly good for giving an "at a glance" summary of a 74-year-old), plus links to Edda's parents, who are linked in the lead already. The subject isn't complicated, and I think some benefit would need to be suggested. Or is there a policy which supports infoboxes in any event? Moonraker (talk) 21:05, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Whether the image is free or non-free is immaterial to the use of an infobox. The fact that certain points are in the lede is also immaterial. The benefits of an infobox in this article, as for the many thousands of other articles that include one, are that it summarises key information from elsewhere in the article, for the convenience of readers wanting a quick overview, not least those accessing the collapsed view on mobile devices. It makes that information available as machine-readable metadata on the page; and for use in dbpedia. And it will, shortly, provide an interface with Wikidata.
