Fails the notability guidelines given in WP:EVENT. Looks like a one-off event with no lasting impact and no coverage outside its immediate geographical area. Kelly hi! 14:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

- Delete this was barely a thing in Vancouver, part of a huge effort to promote Teng on Wikipedia. Legacypac (talk) 06:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per the above BMK (talk) 15:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Part of a walled garden, not notable. Trivial mentions are inflated to become of encyclopedic importance, non-neutral language, abuse of Wikipedia for slacktivism, etc. Drmies (talk) 04:08, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep was also a thing in Germany (2006) and to a lesser extent Ireland (2006). Also in Glasgow. Plenty of coverage in books. Meets GNG. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 01:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC).
- Delete. Random insignificant activist campaign, poor coverage in sources. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:02, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Adequate coverage, international activities, looks like references to Teng are gone now. Let's now throw out the baby with the bathwater. Montanabw(talk) 05:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, Tara Teng is still in the article. Softlavender (talk) 10:40, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

- Delete/merge. The article is written with a focus on the Canadian edition; which is not a problem in itself, but the sources are: they are regional, and mixed with mentions in passing. I looked at Google Books and Scholar, and the campaign is not a subject of any in-depth coverage. I'd merge it to anti-prostitution activism, but there is no such article. At best, some content could be merged to Prostitution or Prostitution in Canada. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
