February 2018 stock market selloff

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

per WP:NOTNEWS; there's no sign this sell-off will have long-term impact. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 23:24, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: Sufficient time was given for this article to be expanded, but hardly ever any independent reliable sources were reporting on this sell-off along with its impacts: short-term and long-term. And since markets appear to be recovering from this month's major pullback, it's appropriate to delete this article for now. OfficerAPC (talk) 01:04, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Update: Although markets sold off during the course of last week, there is no official word on whether that is related to last month's sell-off or whether it is a completely different situation. Nonetheless, the article still doesn't have much to say about a recent event, suggesting there is insufficient coverage that can be verified without question (particularly ABC News). Also, the text was copied from another article that compiles a list of stock market crashes and bear markets before being removed for reasons L293D provided for this discussion.

 * Delete as per WP:NOTNEWS; if it's actually significant in time, no prejudice for recreating it. SportingFlyer (talk) 06:02, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Doesn't pass GNG, and not a significant event with any noticeable long term impact. WikiVirusC (talk) 17:27, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
