No section explaining gender privilege

A section explicitly explaining gender privilege should be included as gender privilege is a complex issue varying from culture to culture. Knsgtv (talk) 21:30, 16 September 2023 (UTC) Knsgtv (talk) 21:29, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge Privilege hazard into Social privilege#Awareness of privilege, for context, and resolve concerns regarding WP:SYNTH and neologism. Klbrain (talk) 20:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

---

The new page on Privilege hazard cover precisely the topic discussed in the Awareness of privilege section. Hence, I suggest merging for overlap. Neither page is large enough to warrant the material being discussed separately, even if one were to accept that privilege hazard was a notable term. It would also bring the gender privilege section that Knsgtv asks about. Klbrain (talk) 08:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The term "privilege hazard" appears many times in books and publications on data science and AI, it would be a shame for researchers who encounter it to lose this page as a resource to understand it. I've added three citations in, with some additional description of how this term is used, but I could easily find a dozen more. This term is not just what is discussed in the Social privilege#Awareness of privilege section -- it is not only about being unwilling to acknowledge one's privilege, "privilege hazard" is being unaware of it, and in ways that cause harmful problems in the data systems one develops.

I did (only) a preliminary NPP review on the other article. I placed a neologism notability tag and said the following:

"The term is not in the title of any of the references. IMO this is a sort of neologism that is not covered in RS's as such and then a gathering of material covered elsewhere which is not identified as such."

For that reason and for the coverage / duplication reasons given in the merge nomination, I'd recommend doing that merge. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 16:05, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@North8000 I agree with your proposal; the Privilege hazard article is likely ineligible for a standalone page; it engages in WP:SYNTH with several other privilege-related sources that don't provide significant coverage of the subject. Until additional sigcov is unearthed, this topic should be merged into this page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:00, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Possible AI-generated text

I added the AI generated template here regarding the text merged in (this diff); it displays many indications of LLM use that are pretty strong. Thus it needs review for accuracy, sourcing issues, etc. -- which should have been done at the time but was not. Gnomingstuff (talk) 04:08, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
