Isabelle (Animal Crossing)
Wikipedia's policy is to base what we say off of what the sources we cite say. Both of the sources cited in the article refer to Isabelle as possibly pan (not bi), so that's what we say as well. Gaelan 💬✏️ 17:59, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

More about sourcing policy
Here's the thing. Since literally anybody can edit Wikipedia, we have absolutely no way of telling whether or not our editors know what they're talking about. It's certainly possible that our sources are wrong, of course, but it's also possible—and probably more likely—that the Wikipedia editor is wrong. Therefore, the only way to keep Wikipedia accurate is to draw a hard line: we say what our sources say, no more and no less. If the sources are wrong, that's not our problem. Once the sources are fixed (or new, correct sources show up), THEN we can say update to match.

To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying you're in the wrong here. Quite frankly, I have no idea whether Isabelle is bi or pan. But the fact of the matter is that the only way Wikipedia can work is if we have one rule that applies in all cases. If there are sources out there that do call her bi, then I encourage you to bring that up, and we (the community) can have a conversation about which sources we should follow (or if we should call her "bi or pan" or something).

Hope that clears things up. Gaelan 💬✏️ 22:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I found a source that describes her as "bisexual or pansexual", so I've changed the article to use that language Gaelan 💬✏️ 22:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
