Talk:Millennials

Vandalization and Bias toward the Millennial Age range

The official Wikipedia page for Millennials has the 1981-1996 as the primary date range to define the Millennials. The United States Library of Congress and the federal government of Canada are the only federal institutions in the world to officially cite a specific date range for both Millennials and Gen Z. No other federal government has done this or cited any other range. Many of these sources for the "1980-1995" are heavily outdated because some of them such as the New York Times have changed to the 1981-1996 age range as of 2022. These will be eventually removed and changed. The 1996 celebrities are officially considered Millennials by the United States government. The fact that the 1995 celebrities were left alone despite having the 1980-1994 range shows that the previous editor is basing their edits on personal bias vs. factual sources. The 1981-1996 Millennial range is cited more and outnumbers the other inconsistent date ranges. (see official Wikipedia page for all sources). Some started Millennials in 1979. Others start in 1980. The vast majority however start in 1981 and end in 1996. Any edits that include sources that are not credible or from pop cites will be removed here and on the Gen Z page. 2601:940:C180:3DB0:0:0:0:FCB (talk) 00:39, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The editor may not have provided enough references to the source. The fact is that there are indeed many authoritative sources that indicate that millennials (Generationu) were born in 1980-1994, for example, this is indicated by: Gene Twenge (professor of psychology at the University of San Diego, whose books are translated into various languages and published around the world); international research center McCrindle; McKinsey International consulting company and so on. And this is not to mention the data from Statistics Canada (where millennials are indicated as born in 1972-1992). So it's still better not to ignore this fact.

Excuse me everybody --but the Wikipedias need more reliable sources than you think 'cause some sources mention a strong possibility that the Millennials might have been born between January 1984 and December 1999. These sources who say such are more likely than not to be very accurate as opposed to between 1981 and 1996. Angela Kate Maureen Pears 13:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then it's worth pointing out the author of this statement, who thinks so. In general, there are data from international research centers that are quite reputable or at least well-known, who know better which birth dates are more accurate, and whose data should also not be overlooked (some of which are listed above).Garik uchastnik (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The various birth dates of millennials that exist today

It is worth admitting that there are still serious disputes and there is no certainty about the birth dates of generations X, Y, Z and Alpha. If we talk about millennials or generation Y, then in addition to data from research centers such as the Pew Research Center (which claim that this generation was born in 1981-1996), there is also data from international research centers such as McCrindle or McKinsey (who believe that this generation was born in 1980-1994), and this was also mentioned in in some newspapers (for example, in Huffpost), there are also data from Statistics Canada (where millennials are described there as born in 1972-1992). There is no bias here and it is advisable not to ignore these facts. Garik uchastnik (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing celebrity names

The celebrity section should be removed from the page. It does not contribute noteworthy information that is factual for the generation; as well as being arbitrary as anyone can add in any edits that they choose. It also makes the article too long for reading. None of the other Simple Wikipedia generation articles have celebrity sections, such as the Baby Boomers.

Added McCrindle citation

Majority of citations define Millennials as those born either 1981-1996 or 1980-1994 this current 2024 year. The phrase "Many other sources related to Millennials, however, say the years between which these people were born were 1980 to 1995" is misleading as there are few-to-none sources that actually utilize 1980-1995. The Adecco citation is outdated by a decade; while the Atlantic Magazine citation contradicts with another Atlantic Magazine source already located in the 1981-1996 citations. The McCrindle citation is sufficient as it is popular along with Pew Research Center's definition. The simple Gen Z article reflects this. Nerd270 (talk) 04:36, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
