At the very least we should gather different sources for his height and include them all in the page, And we include Gorilla on the page is because other encyclopedic sources, like Japanese Wikipedia, do the same thing, and usually state that Gorilla is essentially the Toho Kong but under another name because Toho didn't have the rights to the character.
