I do believe this client claims notability. Many other IRC clients that may be claimed as "just clients" who are much more out of development or favour much less popularity than WeeChat have articles that have been active for many months without being deleted.
A few of these that i can easily name are Bersirc which has not released a new version in well over 3 years and their IRC support and development channels no longer even exist. Another is XiRCON which no longer has an active website (the only way to access it is via archive.org) and last had a stable release over 11 years ago. A final entry is Conspire_(IRC_client) which does favour semi-active development, but has not made a stable release in 6 months, is not in the repositories of any major linux distributions (with the sole exceptions being BSD's ports and Gentoo's Portage) and has many less users in the Support/Development IRC channel compared to WeeChat (21 users in Conspire's official IRC channel, usually upwards of 70 users in WeeChat's official IRC channel (can't say right now as Freenode is currently in a netsplit as of the writing of this talk)).
Also, all the ones i mentioned in the previous paragraph which have much less popularity than WeeChat are GUI clients which as you can probably see from the Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients are quite abundant compared to command-line clients such as WeeChat and a very short list of others.

Currently IRC articles are apparently mass-proded or mass-norminated, e.g., BitchX, Bottler (IRC client), Bersirc, Bip IRC Proxy, ERC (IRC client), naim (chat program), pork client, Psotnic, psyBNC, psyced, Vortec IRC, ZNC (IRC bouncer), PIRCH, Snak, jini (IRC client), Konversation. Article has multiple sources, let's look at this one a bit closer and go trough AfD. 83.254.210.47 (talk) 15:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
There is support under development by running under Cygwin, but the fact the WP page lists Windows as a supported OS is misleading. ——Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.251.74.10 (talk) 16:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
http://www.root.cz/clanky/weechat-pluginovatelny-irc-klient/ is a review in Czech, but it's hard to tell if it's a blog. --Lexein (talk) 05:15, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
