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

Data has been sucked from GND to wikidata via a number of routes,
principally VIAF.
See Wikidata:Bot_requests#Import_GND_identifiers_from_VIAF_dump for
example for a discussion of an instance of this.

In https://www.wikidata.org/?oldid=308216259#Import_GND_identifiers_from_VIAF_dump I don't see any mention of data being imported, only external identifiers.
