I first declined the speedy and prodded; based on talk page comments, I'm proposing we speedy as db-hoax. Taking to AfD so that we can nail this down, and G4 in the future if necessary. - Dank (push to talk) 14:14, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as fishy and unverifiable. Their supposed homepage [1] is a subpage of a IT company with a text-only webpage. The person claiming to have had an interview there on the article's talk page is in all likelyhood a sockpuppet: that's their only activity on Wikipedia. Article claims that SCG's "primary income is from patent royalties", but a quick patent search shows no US patents issued to any company by that name. There's a Canadian company called SCG Industries and they don't claim to be in Antarctica (or Cambridge). If you're gonna pull off a hoax, people, you gotta put a little more effort into it.

- Speedy delete. Going for an A7 on this one - I can find no evidence beyond WP on this one on Google. At all. --63.64.30.2 (talk) 20:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete for lack of notability in reliable sources. It's a likely hoax or fiction. DreamGuy (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Okay, that's 4-0 for speedy, plus the suggestion on the article talk page that this is a hoax, so I'll go ahead and speedy. I prefer not to close when I'm involved with the speedy, and I wouldn't mind leaving this open for 24 hours to see if there's any significant debate. - Dank (push to talk) 21:07, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note Article and talk page are now deleted, and the article talk page is reproduced on the talk page of this AfD. I'll be happy to re-create the article itself somewhere if anyone needs to see it. - Dank (push to talk) 21:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Now there's also SCG Base -- same problems. DreamGuy (talk) 21:52, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
