The result was delete; closed early per WP:SNOW. Far inferior article compared with subprime mortgage crisis. Inappropriate tone, original research/essay, not salvageable. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 04:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as Original Research essay. Reads like a school assignment. --DAJF (talk) 02:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete although the topic is perhaps notable for a separate entry, this particular article is not encyclopedic. It may be easier to write one from a scratch. In the meanwhile, we should not keep it in the current form. Unless someone volunteers to wikize it, I'm for removal. Pundit | utter  02:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It reads like a school assignment because it IS a school assignment [] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legotech (talk • contribs) 03:04, 2 May 2008
 * Delete For the most part, I've been against the systematic AfD-ing of many of these school assignment articles, but this is one that I feel actually deserved it. While the subject itself might be noteworthy, I think it would be best to just scrap this article and start over from scratch than try to redeem what's here. At the very least the article would need a new name. — MearsMan  talk  03:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect  to our rather stellar article at Subprime mortgage crisis, which contains all the info in this article and more.  B figura  (talk) 03:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - After a sanity check provided by MearsMan, I think it's just a tad bit unlikely that someone is going to type this title into a search window. -- B figura (talk) 03:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete - See previous comments. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment On what criteria, exactly? -- B figura (talk) 03:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:OR and WP:ESSAY. There's nothing here that can be salvaged. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 03:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Subprime mortgage crisis.  RC-0722 247.5/ 1  03:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I would say that the title of this article is unlikely to be searched for, so I don't know how much good a redirect would actually do in this particular situation. — MearsMan  talk  03:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nominator. Oore (talk) 03:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - essay. KTC (talk) 03:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. An essay which describes time-sensitive information in a fragile manner ("recent sub-prime mortgage crisis") and does so using a completely inappropriate tone ("Oh yea, by the way..."). Zetawoof(&zeta;) 04:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not only is it a poorly written essay, but it's even worse encyclopedia article.  While we have kept school assignments in the past, and that shouldn't be considered a reason to delete it, we shouldn't keep it ''because it is a school assignment.  At the moment, is nothing more than massive OR and SYNTH.  Celarnor Talk to me  04:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
