WP:NOTABILITY - searching for "appedia" and "Animal" (to separate out links to an app-selling site) gets zero gnews hits, and the relevant ghits appear to be from the appedia participants themselves. Nat Gertler (talk) 13:55, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, in case you didn't know,it's a Chinese project, most readers of book do not use English as their first language. You should search its Chinese name ARC中文动保小百科 instead. You should also search it in the most popular (about 70% market share) search engine in china baidu.com, which will give you many independent links. BTW those web search does not include it's large circulation in the 'Chinese twitter' weibo.com， 165.228.206.224 (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * BTW it also has oter abbreviations in China 165.228.206.224 (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * If you care to put forth some links to the sort of third-party sources that establish notability, please do. Twitter posts would generally not be considered as establishing notability, as they are not in-depth. Currently, the article is not sourced to third parties, and in its original form seemed more of a promo page. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

 * keep It does return many third-party results in Google, link: tinyurl.com/42ax5e4, check out 'Translate this page' links 60.241.220.89 (talk) 09:52, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Notability is not established by sheer quantity of ghits. Looking at the first page of results, it's a mix of the pages of the publishing organization, and things like blog posts and forum postings which do not convey notability. If you would like to identify specific links from sources that do convey notability - significant media sources, for example - please do. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:51, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Chinese Animal Protection Network as has been suggested. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 17:55, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
