The 'No's are split between Switch being gen 7 or gen 8 (and they can't explain why Switch Lite belongs to the same gen as 3DS) therefore 'Yes' wins by default.

Switch Lite is the same gen as the 3DS because generations are defined by power.

Power is also the reason why the PS4 is in the same generation as the 3DS.

EDIT: The Wikipedia page for the eighth generation of video game consoles is hilarious. As if it wasn't already bad enough to make the launch timings cover 2011-2017 by wrongly labeling Switch as gen 8, they even run a handheld-only section that has launch timings from 2011-2019 and still don't realize that something went very wrong.

Label Switch as gen 9 (as it should be) and you get 2011-2013 for gen 8 and 2017-2020 for gen 9. Makes a lot more sense, but is apparently too much to ask for.

"Although it is a hybrid console, Nintendo classifies it as "a home console that you can take with you on the go".

Nintendo has never used the word hybrid afaik so it's pretty bold of Wikipedia to declare Switch a hybrid without any source especially when Nintendo have repeatedly said “Nintendo Switch is a home gaming system first and foremost,”

It can't be a handheld anyway because everyone (except wiki) knows handhelds don't have detachable controllers.
