TSG
TSG is a very prestegious group of two guys -- plus occasional hangers-on, if I understand correctly -- who like to get drunk. Perhaps one of them wrote this. [Burp!] But hey, it's not patent nonsense and doesn't fall into any of the classes listed in Candidates for speedy deletion, so we all get to spend our time considering and voting on it. No problem, as of course we have nothing better to do with our time. (I hope I didn't act too precipitously when I removed an earlier "cleanup" tag; I really don't think that this merits cleanup.) -- Hoary 06:32, 2005 Mar 26 (UTC)

 * Delete. Vanity, thy name is TSG. Feco 08:12, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 08:28, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Was I the only one who thought "TSG is a very prestegious group of two guys -- plus occasional hangers-on, if I understand correctly -- who like to get drunk" refered to The SCO Group (TSG) I quickly realised this was not the case as "it's not patent nonsense" and spouting nonsense about UNIX patents is of course the favourite pastime of TSG folk.

 * Delete. Could be a redirect to The Smoking Gun, I suppose, or a disambig if people have other common uses for the acronym. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 18:25, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Not only is the TSG an actual group from British Columbia, Canada, but they are very well known throughout town. How do I know this ? Because I am a personnal friend of Tyler Lowey, the co-founder of the group.
 * Keep If you all can have you're own personnalized pages about yourselves, why can't they? ...Added anonymously at 05:04, 2005 Mar 27 by 24.71.179.65 (here).
 * KeepYou all do not know my group personnally, therefore you have no reason to delete the page. As someone stated above "If you all can have you're own personnalized pages about yourselves, why can't they?" All you're user pages are no less vain than my group page. Let me keep my link. - --Tlowey 05:17, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The history of this vote is a little bizarre. At 04:57, 2005 Mar 27, 24.71.179.65 who wrote the article, said (anonymously) that he was Lowey: (here). At 05:01, 2005 Mar 27, 24.71.179.65 said (anonymously) that he was "a personnal friend of Tyler Lowey" (here). Whereupon Tlowey (whose only contributions to WP so far have been to this project page) stepped in to claim authorship. Tlowey, first, when you say "someone", you mean yourself (or somebody who uses the same computer and who spells "personal" in the same idiosyncratic way). Secondly, you seem to be confusing (a) articles with (b) user pages. Your user page is here, and it's where you are free to write about yourself. -- Hoary 05:38, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)


 * Delete. Vanity, sockpuppet supported. Jayjg (talk) 10:52, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Someone tell me a good reason why this sort of thing isn't yet a speedy? Chris 19:06, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: To the best of my understanding, it doesn't fall into any of the classes listed in Candidates for speedy deletion. Perhaps those classes should be augmented with new classes, but when I last looked, attempts to augment them were not getting far. Arguments against: Wikipedia should err on the side of inclusion, isn't paper, mustn't be elitist, mustn't scare away the newbies, etc etc etc. -- Hoary 01:41, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
 * I particularly meant more along the lines of why there isn't already a valid speedy case to cover this article, when there clearly should be. Chris 19:22, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've followed this up on Chris' user page. -- Hoary 03:43, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
 * Delete this "very prestigious" vanity into oblivion. Vlad M V  &#1645; talk 21:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
