Keep. One of the news hits said that the website crashed shortly after opening. Seems notable.-- φ OnePt618^Talk φ 04:14, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I want to amend my erroneous statement above -- the news article was actually referring to another site. I still feel this is notable enough to keep around.-- φ OnePt618^Talk φ 04:23, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any guideline based reason for this keep? Joe Chill (talk) 06:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All of the sources in the article are primary. SnottyWong talk 23:35, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 5 results from Google news search, 14 from Google book search, and 85 from Google scholar. The news articles mostly require you pay to read them, so I can't see exactly what's there. This stands out though. "ZipcodeZoo offers descriptions of over 3 million species of plants and animals, with 250,000 photos, maps, pronunciations, and definitions in 13 languages." Sounds notable to me. That's the largest collection of species I find mentioned anywhere. Dream Focus 05:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete having reviewed this article due to the current ANI thread about Jclemens, I have to agree with nom and Snottywong that there is a lack of WP:RS here establishing notability. Verbal chat 08:02, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:RS and WP:GHITS. There is a distinct lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Location (talk) 20:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
