Scentsy 2009 cash mob

I added information about a large-scale cash mob put on by party-planning company, Scentsy, Inc., in 2009. The event pre-dates the coinage of the term "cash mob" (2011), however is clearly an example as it follows the exact guidelines. Here are two articles from 2009/2010 describing the event for your reference:

The addition was removed by Silver Seren, who says it needs to be referred to as a Cash Mob. However, after doing some research, I found that not every wiki inclusion on a page needs to be referred to as the exact term. For example, the "Trashion" page references use of "trashion" that pre-dates the actual term but is clearly an example of the fad.

The Scentsy cash mob should be included on the page as it is a clear example of a cash mob, and a large scale one at that, with 1,000 people pumping $100,000 into the local economy on one day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelllehbee (talk • contribs) 16:59, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
