Hoi,
Wikidata has always had way more people than VIAF or GND. Gender
information has been imported from Wikipedias like sv and de where gender
is in a category. This information is relatively good. All these categories
have been imported several times to Wikidata.

There are mismatches between Wikidata and categories.. More and more it is
the categories where the problem lies.
Thanks,
     GerardM
