I couldn't find sig/in-depth coverage except some ROTM coverage, so fails GNG. — Saqib ( talk  I  contribs ) 17:38, 19 May 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep - it's fairly easy to establish that this was a notable, high-profile production. There might not be any PhD thesis written about its impact on Pakistani literature in the long term, but that would be a bar to high. Most google hits are episodes or link to episodes, but see for example coverage such as, , , , , , , etc. --Soman (talk) 00:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Most, if not all, are unreliable sources and therefore not enough to establish GNG. — Saqib ( talk  I  contribs ) 10:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That's not how notability works. It is different to judge potential sources for substantiating claims in the article mainspace, where unreliable sources may be called into question, as opposed to show media coverage to establish notability. Coverage in tabloids or low-quality sources can very well be used to imply notability. I'd counter-ask, what process of WP:BEFORE did you do perform before nomination for deletion? This was nominated, with a nearly copy-paste deletion rationale from a lot of Pakistan-related AfDs in the past days, within 5 minutes from another AfD. --Soman (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Just because I nominated a bunch of pages around the same time doesn't mean I didn't do my homework beforehand. And if my reasons for nominating are similar across different AfDs, it's because the issues with those articles are pretty much the same too. — Saqib ( talk  I  contribs ) 12:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep significant coverage on google. Significant coverage on google news about "Malaal-e-Yaar" & "Malaal e Yaar". Libraa2019 (talk) 14:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Hum_TV: I wouldn't be fiercely opposed to Keep, because there is some coverage (like this https://www.masala.com/tv-reviews/malaal-e-yaar-a-summary-of-the-show-to-date-292294, bylined review) but if all in all it seems insufficient, redirecting it seems a reasonable ATD. A line can be added in the target article. Or more. (It may go without saying but I am opposed to deletion of this) - My, oh my!  (Mushy Yank)  21:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
