The result was   redirect to Market trend. Carrite admitted that market correction might not be a great search term. The consensus is very clear to me for Market trend. (non-admin closure) Michaelzeng7 (talk) 01:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Stock market corrections

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's not been given a notable update for a few years, it's seriously out of date and I don't have a clue what it's supposed to be about, plus considering that it is without sources I think it's good to be deleted but I wanted to score some consensus.

 * Delete or redirect. Isn't this just a polite term for Stock market crash? There's several relevant articles this could be redirected to (e.g. Stock market crash, Financial crisis of 2007–2008, Stock market bubble, Irrational exuberance). --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to somewhere. It's certainly a plausible search term, but we're rather spoilt for choice on where it should go to. Market correction might be another place to send people. Grandmartin11 (talk) 16:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to market correction. As a side note, the piece market correction is unconscionably terrible for such an important search term, I'm off to Articles for Improvement... Carrite (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Carrite. Absolutely not worth keeping, but it's definitely a plausible reirect.  Nyttend (talk) 05:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * At least Market trend is referenced, and discusses corrections. Market correction is a stub discussing commodities rather than equities and thusfar is devoid of references.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:14, 7 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Market trend. Stock market corrections and crashes are different things; a correction is a modest short term reversal of a market trend, whereas a crash is the trend. Also one can have upward corrections, too, but crashes are always down. There are many news articles on stock market corrections. Google scholar shows 597 hits for "stock market correction" and 178 hits for "stock market corrections". The concept seems highly notable. We should have an article on this. But pragmatically, I am going to ignore all rules here--this article is in a useless, embryonic state and users would be better served by a redirect to a good exposition in the Market trend article. Definitely no prejudice to re-creation by an editor wanting to create a sound article on this topic. --Mark viking (talk) 05:53, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
