The definition of this article feels far too biased, treating 'Pew Research' as the definitive, 100% official source while disregarding other perspectives like University of Southern California, Jean Twenge, McCrindle, and McKinsey & Company.[1]
Additional sources for use of 1995 as start of Gen Z
I believe that sticking with both 1997-2012 and 1995-2009 would be the best approach, as 1995 and 1997 are equally common starting points for Gen Z. Kapartem (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is misleading. While Pew's 1997-2012 definition is commonly cited by a wide range of multiple sources such as the Library of Congress and others; few credible sources actually utilize McCrindle's 1995-2009 definition if at all. All the other 1995 citations utilize different end dates, such as Jean Twenge who ends Gen Z at 2012 or others that end it at 2010. I have made a request to revert these edits as possible vandalism. 2601:940:C100:8890:FDFB:B2AC:7D50:BE99 (talk) 08:17, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please correct a typo of the word "world" in the last sentence of the 4th paragraph in the introduction, as it is incorrectly spelt as "wolrd". Cloaker1 (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please revert possible vandalism that includes the phrase "1995 to 2009" in introductory paragraph as well as other recent edits related to it. Editor claims that multiple sources cite McCrindle's 1995-2009 definition, when this is not true. Most other 1995 citations in the Wikipedia article as well as Talks Page utilize a wide end range consisting of 2009-2012 and even later; meaning that there is no true concensus compared to Pew Research Center's 1997-2012 definition that is both commonly and consistently cited by credible government sources. Probability that editor is utilizing sockpuppetry via a VPN as their Talks Page edits are similar to other editors making similar requests. 2601:940:C100:8890:FDFB:B2AC:7D50:BE99 (talk) 06:08, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
