deletion review on 2009 February 6. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
The result was Delete. The statement - "This is a new phenomenon that merits attention", sums up the problem. Unfortunately, as was pointed out, there are no sources that establish notability and none were added during the discussion. Arguments that "this is interesting" or "I've come across this at my work" can't be counted. Tim Vickers ( talk) 00:41, 5 February 2009 (UTC) reply
Just a little history to put things in context. I happened across this article a couple of weeks and dropped a more references tag on it, as well as dropping a message on the WikiProject Economics and Business talk pages. And then I admit it droppped off my radar. The term is used on the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009 and the Lehman Brothers articles and seems to have passed without comment; apprently it is "the duration of the interest-rate yield convexity curve that effectively measures the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income investment to the rate of change of the yield." Perhaps there is such a concept and perhaps it has a name, but the problem I had with the article then and now is that the one source offered does not use the term, and apart from Wiki-mirrors and blogs that quote Wikipedia articles, there seems to be no usage of the word that I can find. This AFD should have input from those more expert on the subject to be safe, and I will happily withdraw the nomination if someone can show usage in reliable sources prior to the terms appearance here.
