 * Hello Kemalcan.
 * Leher is a significantly notable Indian startup with more than 35 press coverages. I believe the page should not be deleted, please suggest edits or improvements to avoid deletion of the page.
 * @Izno has already denied the first deletion request for this page. Siddharth Jaiswal (talk) 09:42, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Siddharth Jaiswal (talk) 10:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources seem mainly promotional. No significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. --Kemalcan (talk) 12:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Like most Indian articles, it needs work, it seems promotional, and it lacks good sources, but it seems pretty okay. It's a social media app, from what I'm reading.
 * Also, @User:Siddharth4137, if Leher does in fact have "more than 35 press coverages", why don't you add them as references? Properly, of course. AdoTang (talk) 14:51, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes @AdoTang, it's a social media app.
 * I didn't include a lot of repetitive press mentions to avoid making the article promotional in the first place. As you might have seen on my profile, I'm directly related to Leher (ex-employee) and wanted to be fair with Wikipedia's policies and upkeep.
 * I would be highly grateful if you can help me include these mentions and quotes from the founder as references and help me improve the article. Siddharth Jaiswal (talk) 06:47, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
