We can't deleate this article; we need to write about a post-AI and post-smartphone generation.
I don't care if "The article's written too bad", isn't that why we need people to improve and edit.
We should not deleate this article, it's not "too soon", ten days ago they are now not fiction, not just the future, they are here now. LostAdventurerr (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Other Drafts

[edit]

Should we use the information from the other Gen Beta drafts to here or leave it as be? Rager7 (talk) 02:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Generation Beta was the basis for the current (Main:) Generation Beta, so the only draft which isn't merged is User:Wesoree/Generation Beta. I don't see anything there that needs to be kept (they were pretty close to start with, and the source for the "artificial generation" claim is now a dead link). Dan Bloch (talk) 02:38, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So, does the information in User:Wesoree/Generation Beta gets left out? Rager7 (talk) 02:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't see anything I wanted to move, but anyone else is free to move anything they think is beneficial. Dan Bloch (talk) 02:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then the only information that is lost is that Gen Beta being an "artificial generation" we either find a new source for that claim or omit it for this main article. Rager7 (talk) 03:08, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Potential reference

[edit]

Judging by the title, this chapter of a book seems like good source for the article. However it is paywalled and not supported by WP:TWL. https://doi.org/10.4337/9781035301607.00042 Ca talk to me! 03:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gen Betas Exist now

[edit]

The first part "Generation Beta (often shortened to Gen Beta) is the proposed demographic cohort " doesn't make sense as they exist now so they arent proposed anymore! Abrazilianwikieditor (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I revised the lead sentence to say that it's the proposed name for the generation. Does that clear things up? Some1 (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It does clear stuff up Abrazilianwikieditor (talk) 03:18, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement over generation years

[edit]

Other definitions would have this generation starting in 2027. I'm not sure how the page should reflect that information though. Zenten (talk) 23:39, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add Gen Beta onto the chart that was made

[edit]

There is a chart and it is missing Gen Beta. AppleyAppleson (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gen Beta is here, this is notable

[edit]

So, this apparently "may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline", yet there are Gen Beta babies being born as you read this that this article is about. I will admit that the article is very short, however I am strongly against deletion of this article as it covers a topic about millions of 2025 babies. I'll try to source and expand the article when I have time, although exam season is upon me and my time is evaporating fast.

It does meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines, though to be fair you can't tell this from the article. An early version of it had five reliable secondary sources[1][2][3][4][5], most of which were later removed because they all said more or less the same thing. I'll remove the maintenance template from the article. Dan Bloch (talk) 06:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair point, but I think that given there are literally people right now that are Generation Beta, we should at least keep the article. I'll work to expand it tonight. User:Chorchapu (talk|edits|commons|wiktionary|simple english) 23:31, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@TenPoundHammer: This was discussed in the AfD discussion.
@Chorchapu: Your argument isn't valid. It wouldn't matter that people were being born in this date range if only one person was calling them Generation Beta. Hence, the need for the notability guidelines. But it does meet those. Dan Bloch (talk) 03:51, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable sources

Date range

[edit]

While most sources that specify a date range for Generation Beta say 2025—2039, this is because the only current definition given for the date range is from Mark McCrindle. What is commonly cited as the beginning and end years for a generation can change over time. For example, McCrindle first proposed Generation Alpha as beginning in 2010, but consensus is growing towards a 2012 end year for Generation Z, including the Pew Research Center. Keep this in mind.
