infobox "musical artist" vs. "person"

[edit]

im trying to understand the difference between "Infobox musical artist" and "Infobox person"

i noticed the articles for Meek Mill, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Timbaland, all use "person", but for some reason i dont presently understand, this article for Vory uses "musical artist"...

they are all rappers, while dr. dre and timbaland are also producers. i figured either they all would qualify as musical artists, or maybe if the rappers dont, then the people who are also producers might. however, the only one that seems to qualify as a musical artist is vory.

again, if there is a reason for why this discrepancy exists, that reason is unclear (to me). i feel like qualifications for a "musical artist" probably include playing a musical instrument, meaning the vory article should have used the "person" infobox as well. even though "vocals" is listed as the value for his "instrument" parameter, i still think some oversight might have occurred..

otherwise, shouldnt the other articles also be musical artists, with vocals being listed as their instruments? with the articles for dr. dre and timbaland possibly also having their production gear listed.

its rather confusing and i am struggling to find a consistent standard. if somebody could shed some light on this, i would appreciate it.

also, i noticed none of the articles i listed have the "associated acts" parameter. what type of an individual (or infobox) is required for that?

thanks in advance. Snarevox (talk) 19:16, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
