How can you use structured data (SDC) to describe files that show humans and their gender on Wikimedia Commons?

Questions/Notes

[edit]
  • It should probably part of a more general guideline about depicting human beings, with a section about gender.
  • On a non-identified person, should we say "depicts" > "woman" or "depicts" > "human being" with a gender qualifier?
  • About adding "depicts" statement about secondary markers of gender (garment, jewelry, etc.) → maybe easier with working with heritage collections because we generally have extensive documentation about what is depicted.
