Great Recession → 2008-2009 great recession – Donald Trump is finally making a new recession for the first time, without pandemic, since 2008. This means that the world economy is now in recession like the 30s decade. 2803:9800:9093:8203:55AE:AA30:BBC2:6D1F (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

• Speedy oppose as obviously ridiculous. This is not a great recession. Esolo5002 (talk) 17:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
• Speedy close. This is a politically motivated request with no basis in reality. O.N.R. ^(talk) 04:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Great Recession → ? – Donald Trump has started a trade war with three countries. The word "Great Depression" is now trending in Twitter. 2803:9800:9093:8203:68E0:2D25:E9C2:93D (talk) 19:27, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Oppose as nonrelevant. Rationale provided has nothing to do with this article. guninvalid (talk) 19:36, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. IP editors presented similar RM proposals, in October 2024 and February 2025, that were also without merit. Perhaps a moratorium is in order. 162 etc. (talk) 22:29, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose Regardless of whether or not there is another recession we would need evidence that it is actually known as Great Recession for a name change to be necessary.--65.93.194.126 (talk) 01:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose move and possibly protect this talk page. This is the third time the same IP editor has tried to make the same proposal. O.N.R. ^(talk) 03:11, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

WP:SPEEDY close. User:2803:9800:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 has been partially blocked from this page. guninvalid (talk) 17:42, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Oppose. WP:SNOW Mast303 (talk) 22:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose and speedy close, 3rd time this IP has launched this same proposal. Completely baseless the previous 2 times and this one is no different. IncompA 11:55, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Great Recession → ? – Donald Trump is now causing a recession in USA, which is already in recession for the first time since 2020. ~2026-94830-8 (talk) 18:11, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Strong oppose: no evidence to suggest "Great Recession" is the name used for the economy under Trump or (if so) nearly as commonly as the late 2000s crisis. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 19:59, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Origin of the name

Who named this The Great Recession? I might've missed it, but I would think this is something which would be explained in the first paragraph along with a reference.
