Converted redirect about a fairly ancient meme. Two previous AfDs, one keep and one delete. The most recent was delete, but it's a pretty old discussion. Mr. Rubb has since appeared on the Tosh.0 show, which adds enough notability to make another discussion worthwhile, I guess, although it's not enough to save the article. --Bongwarrior (talk) 09:59, 20 August 2012 (UTC) 
 * Keep I know, I know, WP:OTHERCRAP, but this one has showed more WP:PERSISTENCE and notability than a lot of what you'll find in . I've done some basic cleanup, but more work is needed, especially in sourcing. Alternatively, merge back into Whistle tip; there was no longer mention of Bubb Rubb there until a few minutes ago when I added a sentence or two back. --BDD (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:WEB suggests adding a brief description to List of Internet phenomena for memes that aren't independently notable. This gets a bit of coverage on websites that are commercial/well-known but not particularly reliable, so I'm not sure if it qualities for notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per both WP:WEB and WP:BIO. Ye olde meme that never really went anywhere, but a (protected) redirect to List of Internet phenomena might be okay.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  20:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Whistle tip, where he is mentioned. Despite the recent Tosh.0 appearance, I'm not convinced he's significantly any more notable than he was in 2007. Robofish (talk) 20:58, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
