Gender

Gender [edit source ] There is an edit war going on currently about Garfield's gender. There's a quote from a Mental Floss piece being used to support none, there's no source cited there for male. It seems to me there are three options: 1. List its gender as none, citing Mental Floss 2. List his gender as male, either citing a source in the infobox or with a source cited elsewhere in the article 3. Omit his gender entirely Option 1 might entail pronoun changes throughout the article. What I would like to see is discussion here about which option is best supported by sources and best complies with WP policy. Edit summaries are not a substitute for talk-page discussion. I would prefer to have the discussion move here naturally, but if I need to enforce it by reverting it to the last version before the edit war started and protecting the article, I'm prepared to do so.-CFred (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
