Not done:, I can't find any evidence in reliable sources that this ruby exists. The refs you gave are not reliable. Sarah-Jane (talk) 08:18, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, there were additional attempts to add this again in Dec 2018. It is presumably a hoax. It may also be related to this sockpuppetry case: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Freecomwireless. Peacock (talk) 16:17, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
