- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
