For example, a user has name, address, height, weight, color, language, etc. Those things can be listed in a single table.
And now for the universal DBA answer - it depends. There are cases where that information needs to be normalized to another table.

The same person could have a home phone, office phone, fax, mobile phone, pager, etc. Andrew
