Explanation
Disinfoboxes usually provide an easily readable, accessible summary of the article in hand. They make it easy to find out about the key facts in an article without having to locate them within its main body.
While there is repetition, these "disinfoboxes" make it easy for readers to find the key information.
Example
Analysis
The article above is an example of a stub article which has been merged into a larger article,
- unpleasant to read
- does not meet or appear to meet the general standards of Wikipedia
- of poor quality
- difficult to read and comprehend
On the other hand, the box does not summarise the article, it supplements it.
