Infobox was added without a consensus on the talk page[edit]
Hi,
An infobox was added to this article without consensus from the talk page. Here. (Sorry I wasn't sure how to link it without using an external link) Do I have permission to remove this or was there some consensus that I cannot find?
I think the section that reads "He was also exposed to Schoenberg and admired his earlier atonal pieces, thinking Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire.[129] Above all others, Copland named Igor Stravinsky as his "hero" and his favorite 20th-century composer." should be "He was also exposed to Schoenberg and admired his earlier atonal pieces, thinking Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire above all others.[129] Copland named Igor Stravinsky as his "hero" and his favorite 20th-century composer." I.e. the period is in the wrong place. If no-one disagrees I will change it. PhilUK (talk) 19:31, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Personal life section reads "His views were generally progressive and he had strong ties with numerous colleagues and friends in the Popular Front, including Odets." No one named Odets is mentioned anywhere else in the article. Is it Clifford Odets? —Mahāgaja · talk12:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This was the infobox in 2020, when the dialogue above between Aza24 and Jerome Kohl took place. It was added in 2017 by Eliza rolle, and the works [1] were added by Aboudaqn. - When I restored it in 2023, I replaced the mentioning of individual works by the (more neutral) list of his compositions (and dropped the awards). This list of compositions was removed, twice. Am I the only one to think that a link to a composer's works is the best summary of his achievements, and essential to the infobox? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:23, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If an infobox must appear, the list of compositions seems like by-far the most useful information it could contain. I'm not sure why it was removed. Aza24 (talk)17:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We need a source that these works are his notable ones. The idea that this "is not the claim being made here," is a non-starter; obviously showing a handful of selected works implies that they're being presented as prominent. This selection is unsourced – Aza24 (talk)05:24, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only some works are mentioned in the lead, but there is no citation that these are "his notable ones" - nor does there need to be, since there too there is no claim being made that these are the most notable, most prominent, etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:36, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you're saying that the infobox is purposefully listing 3 works solely because they are "among his works". With that rationale, any three works could be listed. Aza24 (talk)23:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
