User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-24894325-20151215214102/@comment-5918438-20151219102247 As a general rule, infoboxes aren't needed for short articles where the same information is given in the text. One exception is that it's important to have an infobox to list the actor for a character. If a character is only mentioned, in one story, they very likely do not merit an infobox. In the case of Count Larisch, an infobox with just species should definitely be done away with.

(On an unrelated note, you're supposed to add a user= variable to as well, so it says who made the request at T:SPEEDY. Page renamed, btw.)
