Human–computer interaction (security)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced. Further reading is a thesis and random articles. Presumably a subfield of human-computer interaction and could just be a small section in that article. Zim Zala Bim talk 17:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect The current article on human-computer interaction doesn't have anything about security, and it should! This material isn't great, but it'd suffice as a start for a new section in that article. Dreamyshade (talk) 00:10, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge w/o redirect; I agree that this is too short to be its own article (though I definitely think it could be one someday with a lot of work). However, this title is not suitable for a redirect, since it makes it seem that "security" is disambiguating the phrase "Human–computer interaction", which is wrong. (I'd support redirects from stuff like Human–computer interaction security or Security of human–computer interaction, though.) Also, quick FYI for the nominator: if an article has a list of references/further reading/external links but is otherwise unsourced/under-sourced, then the right tag to apply is not  , but rather   .

 * That's a good point that it's an awkward article name. The talk page suggests that usable security would be a better approach to naming an article on this topic, and I agree — "usable security" is the term of art, and it'd be a great article topic if somebody wanted to work on it. But still, reviewing the list at WP:R, I believe a redirect would still be helpful to prevent link rot for external sites linking to the article, and because it'd preserve the non-trivial edit history.
