Composers

@Sergecross73 Okay, I'd like to talk this out rather than entering a hectic edit war, and clarify possible misunderstandings. I didn't say that Sano and Miyake did one or two songs max, I said the other credited composers who aren't in the infobox only did one or two songs max, such as Hiroyuki Maruyama or metalmouse, who have both only claimed doing one song respectively. This is why I did not add the full list of composers - the game has around 10 of them, and I understand fine well that infoboxes do not need to list every person involved. Sano and Miyake have both claimed doing three to four songs (although privately, so it may violate WP:OR), which is quite a lot considering the amount of composers involved. As for Kobayashi and Hirota, well Kobayashi has claimed four songs as her work and as far as I know, Hirota has never disclosed the exact capacity in which he was involved. So I don't understand why those two are listed and not Sano and Miyake if they contributed in a similar capacity.

I know there's more important issues on Wikipedia to tackle, but I'm just confused why you consider those Kobayashi and Hirota more significant than Sano or Miyake here in particular. It seems rather arbitrary to me. Is it to keep the list as small as possible? I have seen many infoboxes that list more than two composers, so I'm not sure.

Please read WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. The infobox is really just supposed to outline sourced content covered in the article. None of the composers have any sourced commentary on them, so honestly none of them should really be listed on there as things are right now. I'm not particularly favoring anyone, it's just that your edits are actually moving us farther in the wrong direction. Sergecross73 msg me 14:47, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've read that page, as well as the WP:BRD you linked so I'll keep these in mind for the future. I think this game is a tricky case since it seems as if there isn't any particular "lead composer", but it's true that it should probably be left alone until reliable sources arise that give more insight on who did what.
