Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/January 2008 stock market volatility (2nd nomination)
while everybody was discussing here whether a 1.1% drop in the Dow was a '''world wide financial panic''' (to quote from above) nobody seemed to notice that the Dow was up 3.2% yesterday (390+ points).  According to today's WSJ "Tuesday's gain was the third gain of 390 points or more in less than a month" and there were three other 300+ daily gains since September.  My point is not that we should cover and give commentary on all these days.  Very likely we should not cover any of these days - and we certainly shouldn't give market commentary or make predictions on them.  If we don't cover 3%+ days we shouldn't cover -1.1% days.  I'd be a bit more accomadating if there were some after-the-event commentary in reliable financial news sources saying that this day was significant, but I suspect all that they would say is "boy, wasn't that nothing."  Waiting to see whether something else will happen to make this day appear significant is simply against rystal.  There seems to be some consensus starting to emerge for '''merge''', and I wouldn't argue against this, but the end result will be that very little gets merged
