Let's just save the sources rather than save the Wikipedia article:
"Although the definition of a recession varies between different countries and scholars, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country's real gross domestic product is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession.[3][4][5]"

In the United States, a recession is defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) as 'a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales'."

To be sort of fair to the NBER here, I think their definition is accurate for determining an inflationary depression, (though not a recession as recession is an early indicator).
