Free Money Day[edit]

(

... that each year, to mark the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse on September 15, citizens around the world hand out free money?

ALT1:... that activists around the world mark the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse on September 15 by handing out free money?
Comment: This is for an annual event, on September 15 - perhaps best to run close to that day?

Too short at the moment (1202 characters when 1500 are required) Belle (talk) 01:04, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Unchanged; article remains too short for DYK, and key date is long past. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

I have expanded the article further.--Skr15081997 (talk) 13:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment: it's not a good sign when a key facet of the hooks and article, "Lehman Brothers", is misspelled... BlueMoonset (talk) 04:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm closing this as failed: the article was too short when it was created, and it was almost a month later that a small expansion was made to meet the minimum length criteria: I don't see any special reason that leniency should be given. Harrias ^talk 16:09, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
