Merge with User-centered_design[edit]
"Human-centred design" and "User-centred design" are basically synonyms. There's no need for two articles. Searches for "Human-centred design" should just redirect to "user-centered design". Paul Ralph (University of Auckland) (talk) 16:53, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. There is definitely a difference between the two. "Human-centered design" is specifically used to be more broad than simple user-centered design. This is, for example, mentioned by David Benyon in Designing Interactive Systems. Prinsgezinde (talk) 23:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Don Norman 18:57, 5 April 2021 (UTC) As one of the initial inventors of the phrases (and the methods used by them) of both human-centered and user-centered design (I used the term "user-centered system design" as the title of a book in 1986) they are identical: I simply disliked calling people "users." No change in intention was intended. The notion that one is more broad than the other is simply wrong. I don't know who David Benyon is, but he is misguided. The two articles should be combined. This current article on HCD is annoyingly self-centered. And the critiques of HCD were clearly written by someone who does not understand the broadened uses to which HCD methods have been applied, including to every single one of the areas that the critique says it cannot be used. A disgraceful situation.

Not scientific?[edit]
I think the article Human Design opinion forming, not neutral and represent a subtle advertising. Ichsagdirwas (talk) 15:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
I'm not a expert, i would like Feedback. Ichsagdirwas (talk) 15:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
