Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wall Street panic of May 6, 2010
Just as the market is now being moved by gross reflex action, so we have here a deletion nomination being made as a reflex, without the proper consideration and discussion laid down by our |deletion process.  The article was proposed for deletion within an hour of its creation  and there was no preliminary discussion of this.  When the |prod was removed, there was still no discussion and the article still does not have a talk page.  Bringing the issue to AFD should be a last resort, not an immediate escalation.  We have several articles which cover this general topic area such as Algorithmic trading and it is our |editing policy to keep good sourced information so that we may improve topics like this.   excludes mundane news like weather forecasts and traffic reports, not remarkable occurrences which are explicitly noticed and acted on by the most important people in the world.  Breaking news should be given time to mature before rushing to AFD so that the topic may be understood, the sources compiled, due diligence be done and good alternatives to deletion explored.  As recommended, new page patrollers should please patrol the bottom of the queue, not the top, so that they are dealing with articles that are at least a day old and so have had time to develop
