?ing notability. Is it a hoax? Postcard Cathy 14:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete If this is legitimate, which I can't really tell, it looks like a combination of a definition and an advertisement. Both of which are non-notable and violate the concept of "what Wikipedia is not." The definition may possibly be moved to Wiktionary, but it most likely is unworthy of publication there as well.

  • Delete. A Google search for herf+cigar shows that the term is in use among . . . well, cigar herfers. But it seems to me to fall under WP:NEO: "Neologisms that are in wide use — but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources — are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia."

  • Delete. It's a protologism. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Do not delete The term 'herf' is very widely used among the cigar crowd. Many often seek the true origin of this term, and will hopefully add to this page as they see fit. Others will simply use it as a reference for the true meaning, which is provided by the page. srow3
