Pakistan Zindabad is a slogan (meaning "Long Live Pakistan") (eg Pakistan Murdabad ) per WP:DICDEF,WP:COATRACK, WP:NEO. The WP:DICDEF article was wrongly created and then expanded by adding instances of any event available online whenever these slogans were chanted in public. This article is now serving as WP:COATRACK for editors pushing Kashmir related POV see Talk:Pakistan Zindabad . This AfD is in agreement with this RFC comment DBigXray 15:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC

Past consensus on a similar article : Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pak Watan --DBigXray 16:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• Keep National slogans, national anthems, phrases etc. are notable. "Pakistan Zindabad" has historical usage in the form of speeches, slogans, patriotism, music, battle cry etc. as proven by WP:RS and is highly notable. Mar4d (talk) 16:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

This is neither a national slogan nor national anthem. and the so called WP:RS only mention the occasion when the phrase was used, and do not discuss them in detail as is expected from the subject of an article.--DBigXray 16:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• Strong keep: there are numerous reliable sources present in the article which discuss the word in detail in all aspects. Notability is established and WP:BURDEN cleared. Also notable as a battle cry. Poor nomination. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• @Creator Thats incorrect the references used as source merely take the name. --DBigXray 17:20, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• Keep: I consider it poor and not good faith nomination. Justice007 (talk) 17:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

So far only the WP:COI editors have commented, lets wait what neutral editors have to say about it.--DBigXray 18:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• keep Seems a legitimate term to me that is used widely in celebration Seasider91 (talk) 18:23, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

• Keep: uninvolved editor here. Obviously notable as a national slogan since WWII. Not the best written article--but ripe for improvement. More than enough sources to pass WP:N.– Lionel 19:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

correction, its NOT the national slogan. Please dont go by the count of WP:BOMBARDed ref, you will not find even a single ref that has discussed the phrase.--DBigXray 19:35, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

To that all I have to say is Pakistan Zindabad!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionelt (talk • contribs)

• Keep As it is considered a national slogan per Pakistan's own government And The Telegraph quote "The official national slogan of "Pakistan Zindabad" (long live Pakistan) has been changed to Pakistan Sai Zindha Bhaag (run away alive from Pakistan)."
