Naming of TJ's edit

Recent edits beginning with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TJ%27s&oldid=901099227 have alluded to disparate reasons behind the name TJ's.

Evidence on BBC News points to the name meaning either

1) Trilby and John's (named with his partner Trilby Tucker) or

2) Trilby and Jeanette's (the names of his two most important people, his sister and partner)

3) A further unverified theory was added by another user which claimed it was named after Trilby and his daughter Janet, and made comments that the two saved the club from bankruptcy. I have not seen coverage online which states this theory, but I have kept it in the article nonetheless, with an additional disputed tag.

If you have anything to contribute about the origins of the name TJ's:

1) If it is verified, please add it to the article with the appropriate citation and in a way which fits the current prose.

2) If it is unverified, or you wish to change the current details, please discuss it below on the Talk page, as the section will otherwise become quite convoluted and confusing if we have dozens of theories and claims.

Notability of T.J.'s edit

  • I'm not sure what evidence of importance is required? The same importance is attached to T.J.'s as any famous gig venue, famous bands play there on tours and its well-known as a starting block for Next Big Things, particularly Welsh bands, who can get more exposure by getting a gig at T.J.'s.

TJ's edit

All of the sources refer to it as TJ's not T.J.'s. The club's logo has/had no full stops. So maybe the name of the article should be changed? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
