This phrase should be reconsidered because there is no universally agreed-upon or official definition of when Gen Z begins and ends. Instead of specifying a single range, the definition should present the various years commonly associated with Gen Z. This approach would better align with Wikipedia's commitment to neutrality and objectivity. Advocating for one specific range over others could be a result of bias, which we should avoid to ensure the most accurate representation of generational boundaries. However, I respect that others may see this differently.Kapartem (talk) 15:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe we should remove the entire statement "with the generation generally being defined as people born from 1997 to 2012" because it implies a consensus that doesn't exist. A quick search for Generation Alpha often shows the range as 2010-2024, which would place Gen Z from 1995-2009. Both ranges—1995-2009 and 1997-2012—are equally valid, and no single range should be favored over the other. To maintain neutrality and accuracy, it’s important that we reflect the diversity of views rather than endorsing one specific range.
I don't completely agree with this. "Generally" does imply a consensus which doesn't exist. But I think that "most frequently" or "most commonly" is supported by the citations in the Date and age range section (including the notes in that section). The argument based on Gen Alpha's start date is WP:SYNTHESIS. Dan Bloch (talk) 05:11, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kapartem I'm entirely fine with the change to 'most frequently' from 'generally'. Even though it places an emphasis on 1997-2012, it does at least demonstrate there are other definitions out there. Zillennial (talk) 01:53, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
