There were numerous references citing the subjects many presentations on biological topics. Westerveld is clearly credited with discovering entire new populations of rare animals, many of which are of greater scientific import than one neologism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Semperfly (talk • contribs) 
There are almost no third party reliable sources which discuss his "discoveries." The sources that do mention this are careful to state the claims are unconfirmed. Furthermore, the subject is not covered for having been a former pro snowboarder. Let's be clear: that term was used only once, in passing, in local news covering environmental issues. The one article you've replaced is one I removed for having used Wikipedia as a source. Did you even read the article? I'm removing it based on the source alone, but equally applicable might be WP:FART: the fact is insignificant according to reliable coverage. JFHJr (㊟) 

The "numerous references" you refer to probably included the self-publications by related parties promoting a future event, or links to pirated and copyrighted newscasts on youtube, which I removed. Such press announcements regarding upcoming events cannot be used to claim 1) that the event even actually occurred, nor 2) any significance of the accomplishment, since the host of presentations necessarily has an interest in puffing and promoting the presentation.
