:::Wikipedia does not encourage the use of infoboxes, and it is astonishing that you would think so.  The applicable guideline is at WP:INFOBOXUSE, which states: "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article."  For this article, the consensus has been that no infobox would be helpful, and that it would contain only redundant information.
