AfDs for this article: Articles for deletion/Tygon Tubing 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nothing has changed in the four years since this was last nominated. It is still a thinly veiled product advertisement. I have looked for sources again, and found nothing much of substance; most of the hits are either to various companies that sell the stuff, or books on various construction or assembly related topics that mention it in passing. The last deletion discussion ended as "keep and improve", but that hasn't happened. No surprises there- the only two people who tried to improve it were not able to and !voted delete accordingly.

 * Keep Gosh, Tygon tubing is ubiquitous in biological labs and is used a great deal in the medical field as well. Just performing a quick search on PubMed yields at least 20 scholarly peer-reviewed articles both on Tygon tubing and its use for medical purposes. The Pubmed IDs of the papers found are 10585152, 9360133, 10160448,
 * 18285028, 10149011, 2459866, 2955684, 5960696, 17733451, 21250846, 21222386, 20807440, 17031628, 6875695, 15553219, 12455773, 12229263, 11958303, 11852696, and 11001170. The topic is well above threshold for notability. While the article needs to be given a more neutral viewpoint and better references, it has good information. Note that AfD is not for article cleanup, WP:NOTFORCLEANUP, and there is no time limit for improving articles, WP:NOTIMELIMIT, so neither of these issues prevent keeping this article on a notable topic.

 * Keep as clearly notable - glad others found sources to back this up. -- Scray (talk) 02:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A Google books search on "Tygon" clearly indicates that this is a notable and very widely used product. I do agree though that the tone and content are overly promotional. Mcewan (talk) 09:17, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
