More than half the references here come from the actual creators of this advertising campaign, including press releases and promotional materials from the ad agency. Only receives a bare mention in secondary sources around the time of the ad campaign, which aren't enough to pass the WP:GNG, and creates a potential problem with WP:NOTNEWS. This article veers very close to self-promotion and trying to leverage Wikipedia as a search engine optimization tool. Jontesta (talk) 20:16, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Interesting but sources are weak (press release, blogs, at best - very local niche media). This campaign failed to get recognition sufficient to pass WP:GNG.(Also, the article is badly focused on the fictional element of the campaign instead of the real world campaign itself).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:19, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete mostly promotional or primary sources, without enough independence to establish WP:NOTABILITY. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:30, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
