City/State

could the editors add the city/state location of these institutions to this list when there is not yet an article to link to the company name Hmains (talk) 18:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Long Name

this article has a very long name, can't we make it shorter?--Lerdthenerd (talk) 12:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Sources

this aritcle need to sources the bills themselves, not one news article will simple but in the bill number or vote number. its as if they dont want us to have access to the origional source

without a link to the origionall bill its impossible to find the vote and see who voted for it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.91.120 (talk) 22:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Iceland banks

Have these been "acquired" or are they "failures". Landsbanki seems to be in receivership rather than acquired?86.11.172.114 (talk) 21:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

More than Banks

The financial crisis is affecting more than just banks. Couldn't we have a retailer/other business section that also face the same fate as the banks.

I was thinking the same thing, but where are the sources for such information? Hmains (talk) 20:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I found some sources from newspaper sites and other sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.222.121 (talk) 23:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Moved to List of acquired or bankrupt banks in the late 2000s financial crisis--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 09:53, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

As this 'crisis' appears to be going well into 2009 and maybe further, I would like to suggest changing the name to "Bankrupt or Acquired banks since 2007". What does everyone else think. --Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 21:30, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

List of banks acquired or bankrupt since 2007 seems better. Johnbod (talk) 23:28, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Changed the name to the one previously suggested (GOOD IDEA) --Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 01:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree a name change is in order, but these suggestions would make the list inclusive of all future time. This list is meant to include only events in the current financial crisis, not the infinite future. What would be the right name? We don't have a name for the crisis yet as shown by other articles and categories here. Hmains (talk) 03:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Why shouldn't we include all of the banks? Any failed bank should qualify to be in an encyclopedia as they are major events. If it comes down to it, the article can always be split up (Domestic and Foreign, Banks closed by the FDIC and NCUA, etc.) --Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 03:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

As soon as this is done, someone will say 2007 is just an artibrary date and the article should thereby be deleted or the article will have to go back to the beginning of banks. This all completely negates the purpose of this article which deals with the current financial crises. If you want a forever article, create a different article, don't destroy this one. Hmains (talk) 03:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

As I see it, when the crisis comes to an end, and/or acquires a more generally accepted name, as it surely will, the title can be moved again to reflect this. For now, some version of the current suggestions seems best - I agree about retaining the subject as is. Johnbod (talk) 04:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I suggest that, after the first failure in 2009 is added to this article, the title be changed to List of bankrupt or acquired banks during the financial crisis of 2007–2009 so the title will continue to match the contents. Hmains (talk) 19:02, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I can accept that, but List of banks acquired or bankrupt in 2007-9 is shorter & follows the article order. Johnbod (talk) 22:02, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

on the other hand, it could be renamed to List of bankrupt or acquired banks in the late 2000s financial crisis to match the just renamed article Late 2000s recession Hmains (talk) 05:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

That would be ok too, but the order should be reversed as above. Johnbod (talk) 15:05, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

NCUA closings

The latest credit union closing notice by NCUA says that 14 have been closed in 2008. I have only been able to find 13, not 14, from the less than helpful NCUA web site. Anyone know what the 14th closed credit union is? Hmains (talk) 19:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Size of banks being closed

If anyone's interested in adding a column for the size of the bank being closed, this page lists MagnetBank's deposits as totalling $282.8 million. Jun-Dai (talk) 16:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

long

This list is getting rather long. I propose breaking out the banks closed by FDIC and NCUA to a separate list. Comments? If none, I will do so in a week or two. Hmains (talk) 23:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe split up and use titles like Institutions closed by the FDIC during financial crisis and Instituions closed by the NCUA during financial crisis. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Lacking any other comments, I have just created List of acquired or bankrupt United States banks in the late 2000s financial crisis. Hmains (talk) 00:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
