Almost empty infobox deletion

Almost empty infobox deleted per WP:MOS: “The most important group to consider are the casual readers of Wikipedia, who will never do any significant editing. Infobox templates that contain many blank fields, question marks and unknowns present an unprofessional appearance, diminishing Wikipedia’s reputation as a high-quality encyclopedia.” Quis separabit? 13:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

@Rms125a@hotmail.com: Although I agree with your removal of this infobox, strictly speaking I think it would have been better to post first per WP:INFOBOXUSE and wait (even for just a day or two) to see if there was a consensus first. Also, the information you quoted above is not found at WP:MOS; It's found at "Readers greatly outnumber editors" at MOS:INFOBOX#Dynamic templates. It's all part of the MOS so maybe it's not a big deal, but it's easier to find if you link directly to it. - Marchjuly (talk) 23:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
