Deletion of Herping

Comment: I see a half dozen new references in the article.  In general, that's a good thing.  The problem in these cases is that the references fall into two categories:  they're either not from a reliable source (the Free Dictionary), or they're used in violation of  - that is, they demonstrate that the word exists (which was never disputed), but they fail to support the content of the article.  The content is still original research. The bottom line is "herping" doesn't belong in this encyclopedia, though the content (if it's ever sourced properly) might fit into Herpetology somewhere. Here's another way to look at it.  Google "herping". Sure, the word exists.  But now take a look at the top links - they're all from self-published sources - forums, community pages, and the like.  This is exactly like the "graving" article noted above - up to and including personal insults and canvasing fans to oppose the AfD
