Metadata

If the {{infobox organization}} template is used, it produces the following metadata as far as I can see:

class="vcard" for the table as a whole
class="org" for 'Renaissance Theatre Company'
class="dtstart" for '1987'
class="dtend" for '1994'

All of these are useful pieces of information that then become immediately available to re-users by standardised means of scraping data.

I don't think that the small infobox is aesthetically unappealing in this case, although I accept that others may disagree. Nevertheless, at present, use of the infobox is far-and-away the most convenient means that editors have to make the metadata available, and I suggest that the advantage of its retention here outweighs the likely disadvantages that I can see (repetition of info and aesthetics, I assume). I'd be happy to discuss these issues here if there is a case to be made for removal of the infobox. --RexxS (talk) 19:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
