From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

Comrade @PrimersophiaXVII suggests us adding pronouns to articles about people in this style (see her message here):

  • Firstname Lastname (they/them) is a...

I think it's redundant since the article, when describing the person, will inevitably use pronouns, thus making clear the gender of the person. But even for the sake of redundancy, this information could be presented in an infobox better than in the article body. The reason why is that people already have dates, which is shown under parenthesis, when they are presented:

  • Iósif Vissariónovich Dzhugashvili (December 21st, 1878 — March 5th, 1953)
  • Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870 — 21 January 1924)
  • Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13th, 1926 — November 25th, 2016)

So they would be presented as

  • Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13th, 1926 — November 25th, 2016) (he/him)

That's my opinion, but if the majority disagrees with me, we can implement this nevertheless
