 * Speedy Keep Hard to believe that this was nominated for deletion. No sign I could see of advertising. Its a pretty clean article with useful encyclopedic info and proper citation of sources about a topic of substantial and growing notability. Let's assume that the nomination was made in error and close it immediately. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 05:29, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No, it is not a nomination made in error. If you look at the article you see several empty section. But when you look closer, you can also see a lot of sources coming from WeChat itself, is parent company Tencents Holding or related companies as CogoBuy. The Banner talk 16:46, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, that can be fixed. In general, I don't see a lot of promotional language in the article, the article is not advertising. Having a lot of primary sources directly affiliated with the subject is not a proper reason for deletion. I've added a banner to the page notifying editors of the need to fix this problem. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 16:52, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
