The result was   Keep and merge to Political campaign (non-admin closure). Since Informational campaign is a type of Political campaign, the merge (with redirect) seems the most appropriate action. Neither Publicity nor Infomercial are related to it. Ruslik (talk) 12:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Informational campaign

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

neologism, rarely used in this context. Wikipedia is not a collection of buzzwords. RayAYang (talk) 19:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, the article is not about the term but about the phenomenon of informational campaigns. This is an important strategy in minor-party politics. Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 19:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Political campaign. The problem is that while the concept is certainly notable, this term is used too rarely in this context to bear any significance. Finding this article under such a title (when that's what you're looking for) would be like finding a needle in a haystack. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong delete You can clearly go too far. Case in point here being that every organisation, politician, advertising agent, embarks on "information campaigns". The term is waaaay too generic, so I do not believe that merging to Political campaign would be appropriate, I think Infomercial would be better, but still lacking. Perhaps it could go to Publicity. Despite the references (all trivial, BTW, and the third link is not WP:RS compliant), there is nothing therein specifically about this term, nor is there any clear and notability  of the term.

 * Merge. I don't know if editors are reading the same article I am, but it clearly denotes a specific type of election campaign, not a generalized "let's get people informed about X" effort.  I'd probably support a merge of this and paper campaign (similar article created by the same user in the same time frame) into political campaign, with no prejudice to recreating as distinct articles if size requirements get too heavy.
