"Years_active" in infobox

edit

I removed the value from the "years_active" parameter in the infobox because it doesn't seem to fit this particular article. His primary occupation is surgeon; the singing novelty only gained attention in 2020, but "years_active" doesn't really allow for differentiation between occupation and when they received public attention. The infobox doc says "Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable." Although 2020 is when there was "other activity for which they are notable", a reader unfamiliar with the topic isn't going to understand "2020 = singing notability that has nothing to do with his primary occupation". Rather than confusing the reader, I suggest it's better to just not use that parameter on this article. Schazjmd (talk) 22:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Adding: this 2020 article in Tennessean states "Dr. Elvis Francois, 35, is an orthopedic surgeon who became a singing sensation two years ago." and this news article states "The video of Robinson and Dr. Elvis Francois went viral in 2018, and since then, they've made national appearances.", so "2020" isn't accurate even if it were clear it was for public attention to his singing.
