I don't think this event was so significant that WP needs an article on this topic. No encyclopedic value with very little coverage, mostly routine. Fails WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:NEVENT. Störm  (talk)  16:54, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: unsourced original research. Fails WP:NORG / WP:NEVENT. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:41, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Azme Alishan Campaign (2010 - 2013) was a nationwide social awareness campaign in Pakistan. I was able to find news coverage on this campaign by 3 major newspapers -- Dawn, The Express Tribune and The Nation (Pakistan). So I have added 8 new references to the article from them. True, the article was left unsourced to begin with. Looked to me that article title (Azme Alishan) was also incomplete. It was a 3 year campaign according to the newspapers, so I Moved page to add the word Campaign to the article title. Redid the article as best as I could. It reminds me of "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign launched by former first lady Nancy Reagan in the 1980s in the US. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * By the way, sorry I forgot to mention for our non-Urdu-speaking readers, Azme Alishan Campaign means The Great Resolve Campaign. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:32, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - No impact in longer term, part of routine patriotic events, fails WP:NEVENT. Reagan's campaign created impact hence meets WP:NEVENT. Störm   (talk)  07:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No impact? How can you say that with such AUTHORITY? Many independent newspapers gave the campaign news coverage for 3 years. Can you be also asked to back your conclusion up with a reliable reference here that the campaign had no impact? Just because you are a Deletion nominator, you should give it a thought before you dismiss so quickly other people's work on this Discussion Forum. I have spent some time improving this article. I at least acknowledged above that the article was unreferenced, when you nominated it for Deletion. Ngrewal1 (talk) 15:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete : Let's graciously sidestep the WP:OR violation and cite WP:NEVENT. -The Gnome (talk) 11:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment Again, It was NOT a SINGLE EVENT lasting for a couple of days somewhere. It was a nationwide Social Awareness Campaign where music concerts by famous musicians and sports events for its benefit were held for a period of 3 years in the 2 largest cities of Pakistan -- Lahore and Karachi. News coverage of this campaign by many independent reliable newspapers persisted over a period of 3 years. Please note that Original Research (OR) and the article being unreferenced problem was solved, when I spent time on improving it and redid the article and provided 8 new references.

 * Delete-Fails to NEVENT. Otherwise there's an automatic bias in favor of one-time events, which manages to gain a few articles during that span against events that happen consecutively every year (for a few years) and hence manages to get the same number of articles, every year at the time of happening. Thus, as I look at whether the event has been any mentioned in a significant manner post-completion of it's course or mentioned in any scholarly source/book(s), I spot nothing which emphasizes the failure of NEVENT. &#x222F; WBG converse 11:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
