My attitude toward infoboxes is about as generous as my attitude toward spoiler warnings, but what seems important to me in dealing with this category of problem is maintaining focus. By taking one of these problems, like spoiler warnings, and combining our energies to deal with it we can be far more effective than in trying to deal with all of them at the same time. Our opponents tend to be particularly focused to the point of monomania.
That's unnecessarily confrontational.
I'm not going to look at what dreadful condition it's in at present, but WP:CLS - the categories/lists/series boxes guideline - used to note that a disadvantage of boxes is that they can become claims of ownership and neutrality problems. Can you put together as effective a case to put the point across as Phil did, with some reasonable course of action that is less apocalyptic than "delete the lot"? Nice as that might be sometimes.
(I like infoboxes because they provide a nice place to put [[Image:Replace this image1.svg]].)
(And if anyone reverts you putting that in an article, let me know.)
