1. Actually, its the infoboxes that are redundant. Material should never be put in an infobox without also including it in the article. Infoboxes are not substitutes for articles.

2+ I've written a lot of leads for stories that I haven't heard/seen/read, that's why so many just have name, author and occasionally featured characters. I suggest you browse stories that have well-developed leads to see what we include so you can get an idea what is lead-worthy. Anything that might not be worthy of the lead but still useful can be put in the story notes section.
