Names used to describe the Subprime Mortgage Crisis

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia isn't a thesaurus to be used for different names of the same thing. (contested prod removed by IP for no reason) Tavix (talk) 23:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge Such an idea isn't necessarily a problem (see Names of Jerusalem or Names of the Levant), but this isn't anywhere near those articles. As this little article is reasonably sourced, it could easily be placed in an appropriate part of Subprime mortgage crisis.  Nyttend (talk) 00:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively to subprime mortgage crisis. Stifle (talk) 13:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This list is meaningless, it just catalogues the expression some journalist used some day on some article as replacement to Subprime mortgage crisis simply because that term is overused and repeated everywhere. Hundreds of names have being used to describe and qualify this crisis. This article is purely an indiscriminate collection of information. EconomistBR  03:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per EconomistBR. Mission Fleg (talk) 05:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the topic is significant, but the various names used to describe it in the press are not. -- Whpq (talk) 10:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
