The result of the discussion was merge Template:Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor into Template:Infobox person.. Cases of musical artists and groups should be transitioned over to {{infobox musical artist}}. Additionally, {{Infobox Chinese}} can be embedded into infobox modules as needed.

Propose merging Template:Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor with Template:Infobox person.
Unnecessarily ethnocentric, and nothing that cannot be accommodated by Infobox person. Please refer to the relevant discussions Template:Infobox actor, Template:Infobox_entertainer, Template:Infobox_Indian_actor, Template:Infobox_Indian_TV_actor, etc.

As far as I can see, the only differences are 1) romanizations: this information can be easily embedded using Template:Infobox name module or Template:Infobox Chinese; 2) a parameter called "ethnicity" that links to List of ethnic groups in China: this parameter shouldn't be in infoboxes per RfC: Ethnicity in infobox; 3) a parameter called "ancestry" that links to ancestral home (Chinese): I would argue this outdated idea is even more controversial than ethnicity/religion in Infoboxes (a person may have never been to their ancestral home in their life), and 4) numerous Chinese/Asian awards: which shouldn't be in Infoboxes per Discussion: Awards_in_infobox, but if necessary, can be included using the "award" parameter in Infobox person.

  • Support per Timmyshin. No reason to have a whole new template just to add some translated and transliterated names. --Ahecht (TALK

  • Oppose per Ernestchuajiasheng. The template is specially designed for Chinese artists. Adding an inferior template would make it harder to add the Chinese characters and translated names. Also the lack of color in the proposed template is worrying as it would make it harder for the naked eye to tell apart the different sections. Inter&anthro (talk) 22:02, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
