 * Keep: Ubbi dubbi was a memorable, featured element on the PBS show Zoom, both in its original 1970s airing and its late 1990s revival, as well as Mushmouth's language on Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. The sources in the article include:
 * "It's Ubbi-Dubbi all over again: "Zoom" zooms back to TV" by Catherine Newton, Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Jan 20, 1999)
 * "Mouthing Off" by Douglas Belkin, Boston Globe (May 1, 2005)
 * Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind by Dani Byrd and Toben H. Mintz, John Wiley & Sons (2010)
 * "Everything's obee kaybee!: There's no rushing a good time of laughs, talk with Bill Cosby" by Kawehi Haug, Honolulu Advertiser (Jan 15, 2010)
 * I believe that this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. I've just added two scholarly citations which mention Ubbi Dubbi as an example of interative infixation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep -- per significant sourcing in article and above, clear pass of GNG. matt91486 (talk) 16:54, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
