This is wrong. All the material is about a standard hypergeometric distribution.
I agree, it's clearly just the hypergeometric. It's highly misleading.

According to "Univariate Discrete Distributions", Johnson, Kotz and Kemp, the negative hypergeometric distribution is also known as the beta binomial, as indicated in Table 2.1 p. 83 "The Types of Distributions Derived by Ord (1967a)." An easy way to correct this article, which has multiple issues, would be to replace it with a redirect to
beta binomial. Any thoughts?

In any case, I DO NOT think this article should be a redirect to beta binomial. Beta binomial is explained differently and the relation to hypergeometric distribution is not sufficiently clear. --

In the introduction of this Wikipedia article, it is stated that "male" and "female" are two mutually exclusive categories that can completely encompass a sample. This is not the case for either gender or biological sex, due to the existence of nonbinary and intersex individuals, respectively.
