Non-notable, original research and/or independently unverifiable. 36 displayed hits, some of which are other uses, and most are from Tubarc Technologies LLC and their patent filings. Part of a series of related articles. Also possible self-promotion. Tubarc Action has been marked copyvio, but since the website cited just re-posted the text of a Tubarc patent, I'm not sure if it really is copyvio, but should be deleted as part of this series--only one hit for the term, the patent re-post site. I marked Self-Recharging Marker and Self-Inking as copyvios from http://www.tubarc.com but they should probably be deleted as more tubarc promotion unless someone can figure out something appropriate for the titles (which are improperly capitalized, anyway).

 * Delete per nom dr.alf 01:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Also, could this ever be more than dicdef? I read the article, still have no clue what this stuff (lubricant?) is or does. Ifnord 04:44, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this per nom, and all the rest of Special:Contributions/200.158.46.64's related articles. (Yes, I've looked at all of them; they're all either blatant advertising spam or original research to support said spam.) &mdash; HorsePunchKid &rarr;&#x9F9C; 2005-12-06 04:54:56Z
 * Delete as advertising/self promotion. I'm not in agreement with the practice of trying to get rid of ad/promotion material under the guise of copyright violation - this seems to be a misuse. CarbonCopy 20:29, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Misuse of the copyright violation process that is, to circumvent the AfD process.  I still think the arcticles in question should go.

 * Delete. Probably some form of self promotion.  Also, his appears to be much too specialized and obscure to be encylopedic. At the very least, this article would have to be expanded significantly to be of any use. As it is, it is not clear what this is and what it is used for. ManoaChild 21:06, 6 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Note that the article creator has now registered as User:Tubarc in order to continue posting copies of this text; I've just AfD'd another at Masstubarc. The username pretty much proves that this is self-promotion.  Note that User:Tubarc removed the AfD notice from Tubarc; I've restored it and warned him. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 21:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Adding other articles to this AfD now, all have the same problem. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 22:44, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity crapflood, preferably speedy as vandalism. Of them all only "Tubarc Plug System seems to describe a real observable phenomenon, and that is self-referential in respect of the author. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 22:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment my delete vote is extended to apply to the three new articles. ManoaChild 23:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the lot, and someone shoot Tubarc. Stifle 15:44, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the lot. Agree with CarbonCopy though about misuse of copyvio. ++Lar 19:11, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
