Coordinates lead to the middle of a state highway ( Texas State Highway 329). I can't find any evidence of a community. wizzito | say hello! 01:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment.
This Google search shows several references to it as a place name by Texas state government agencies. Tubbs Corner isn't listed in the
Handbook of Texas, but in light of the way many rural Texas communities have shrunk or vanished, I suspect that the name on a map means that something was once there -- perhaps a general store run by the Tubbs family, perhaps more.

- Yes that's how these often worked. The Tubbs family likely lived there, which became associated with the intersection for wayfinding and would appear on maps, but it's no indication whatsoever that there was ever an actual community beyond the Tubbses or that there is notability in a name.

- Delete I agree with Reywas92, it does not meet notability requirements as it doesn't have a notable community. BJackJS talk 14:09, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Fifteen newspaper results, most of which are irrelevant. A passing mention in a classified ad in 1965 gives it as the location of a house. Another passing mention in a letter from a reader in 2006, and it is mentioned once in 2010 as where a person lived. This does not, to me, indicate a community. jp× g 19:22, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
