The result was redirect to 2015 Chinese stock market crash. No discrimination against a merge but 2015 Chinese stock market crash already had a brief section about black Monday and overall responses. Mkdw^talk 16:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can see no reason (as yet) for this to exist as an article separate from 2015 Chinese stock market crash, in my opinion a story with a long way to go. There may well be blacker Mondays or indeed Wednesdays ahead. Black Monday is merely the headline created by a very unimaginative sub-editor, which is why I do not think this worthy of a redirect.

• Re-name Black Monday 2015 Chinese state media is calling it "Black Monday". International commentators starting to call it Black Monday as hundreds of billions of notable dollars go down toilet. Suggest name change discussion more appropriate than deletion. Guru Noel (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC) 18:08, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Probably Renamed Simply as Black Monday or Merged with Chinese Stock Market Crash I dont know put it could Renamed as Black Monday that right now that also effect outside of China as well, However its only create Positive effect on Oil to decreased prices for short time? 2606:A000:85E7:4E00:6DC0:1FC6:C31:B6E7 (talk) 19:01, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOTNEWS - worth a paragraph in the existing article 2015 Chinese stock market crash, but no more than that. We don't create an article every time a stock market somewhere drops or rises by a few percent points. -Zanhe (talk) 08:24, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Hang fire for now This may not even be the worst day. The article is premature, but we have articles on such days on Wall Street, so likely we will eventually have one on this day. User:Fred Bauder Talk 08:37, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Hang fire for now - its too early to tell whether the event is notable. Review after two weeks. Then most likely then merge with Chinese Stock Market Crash 2015.Jonpatterns (talk) 09:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Zanhe. 61.3.106.89 (talk) 10:14, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment They call it Stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad. Wednesday's worse.... I can't really see the point of a standalone article: this day is so obviouisly part of a larger story that a standalone would have to include much material from 2015 Chinese stock market crash to make any sense. As for Black Monday....Clichegate.TheLongTone (talk) 13:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to 2015 Chinese stock market crash: Currently serves as a content fork. There isn't a reason to have separate pages when the later events can be placed in an article subsection. --benlisquare_T•C•E 11:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Hang fire for now per Fred Bauder and Jonpatterns. Notability (or lack thereof) of the subject would be clearer in 2-3 weeks. --Joshua Issac (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Are the Chinese Government now trying to censor bad news on Wikipedia by stealth?! -- Urquhartnite (talk) 23:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not in any substantial way, however this particular subject is a good example of one that might be, as panic is not a good thing; press coverage is muted in China, by government directive. User:Fred Bauder Talk 16:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to 2015 Chinese stock market crash , this is an unnecessary fork. --Tom (LT) (talk) 04:07, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Agree with Zanhe and with Tom's comments above. Quantumavik (talk) 04:23, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and I would support expansion into how it impacted global markets... considering how the DJIA lost over 1000 points in 3 days and then kept falling for several days after that, this is more than just China's bad day. MPS (talk) 15:34, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @MPS: There's already an article, 2015 stock market selloff, about the global selloff (which has more info about Black Monday than the stub we're discussing). And there is 2015 Chinese stock market crash about the Chinese crash; both articles are relatively well developed. We don't need a third article about the same event. -Zanhe (talk) 19:32, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
