Global day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can’t find any sources to support the claimed use of this term. While I imagine it probably exists, I’m doubtful whether it is sufficiently notable to warrant an article. Mccapra (talk) 04:11, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete as WP:NEO. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Searching finds mostly false positives. No prejudice against later recreation if someone finds actual sourcing to support a full article on the existence and use of the term. Bakazaka (talk) 03:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: Searches show more positives for Global Market Day but even that would be a WP:DICDEF without strong sources. (In addition, the example information in this unreferenced article is at best imprecise: London_Stock_Exchange does not agree that "The London business day starts at 9am and ends at 5pm".) Lack of evidence that this term is notable. AllyD (talk) 18:58, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. This appears to be sourceable in quality book sources.  Innovations in International and Cross-Cultural Management has substantial coverage of the topic over several pages.  Using currency options more effectively also appears substantial, although I only have snippet view.  Trading in the Global Currency Markets gives it a couple of paragraphs.  Numerous other sources, while not in-depth, show that the concept is a common term-of-art in the sector. SpinningSpark 01:36, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment thanks for tracking these down. The first looks like a substantial ref but the others are passing refs. As I said in my nomination I imagine the term exists but even seeing these refs does not leave me convinced the topic is notable enough for an article. Mccapra (talk) 06:57, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't agree that Trading in the Global Currency Markets is a passing mention. It talks about New York being the end of the global day and gives an historical reason; California failed in the 1980s to fill the gap between New York and Tokyo.  This is a fact that could sensibly be added to the article.  The rest of the section is discussing expected level of activity in different parts of the global day, so still on the same topic.  It starts on page 117 and finishes on page 119, admittedly, the middle page is mostly charts, but it is still more than a trivial passing mention. I also found this paper "Time Scales and Organizational Theory" which is behind a paywall and I wouldn't bother the library to get it unless the article was definitely going to be kept, but this snippet
 * "Circadian rhythms are particularly visible in global financial markets (Figure 2B), where the pattern of activity repeats itself every 24 hours, but only over the work week (the period of validity). The global “day” begins in New Zealand, just west of the International Date Line …"
 * which indicates there is non-trivial material there. SpinningSpark 09:58, 3 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Worked most of my life in capital markets and never head this term.  Searched for it on google and could not find a reasonable reference.  I am sure that there are some investment books that may have used the phrase, but this is not a defined term in capital markets (maybe why this article has no references).
