* UNDUE & NPOV really aren't major concerns if there are no controversies which editors are deeply invested in. I may be wrong, but I can't imagine people coming to blows over whether Jane Austen's work is Romantic or Realist or whatever...  [[User:Lingzhi|Lingzhi]] ♦ [[User talk:Lingzhi|(talk)]] 15:53, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
:*I could come to blows over the infoboxes there because from what I'm reading (and I've been doing a fair amount) her novels aren't neatly packaged as a [[Romance novel]] as the infoboxes are telling us (and that's one godawful article), see i.,e ''[[Northanger Abbey]]'' and ''[[Emma]]'', but when writing about her satire & parodies there are specific passages mentioned again and if properly sourced I can't imagine people coming to blows over them. But without quote boxes we lack a good way of illustrating. Well, we can use blockquotes but honestly, those are ugly and don't always format well. Anyway, I think with the case of all these things, it's doesn't have to be an all or nothing scenario. I have seven articles on my watchlist with infoboxes that show genres I disagree with (per good sources) and that info is scooped up and populated at Wikidata. Yet, if I try to delete the fields or (horror of horrors) the infoboxes (because not a single one of those articles warrants an IB) then all out war will break out. That's just stupid.
