Non-notable per WP:MUSICBIO. No reliable sources shown in any GHits other than the one BBC local interview cited, and the standard requires multiple non-trivial items. No charted songs. No awards. Article is written by manager, violating WP:COI. Author states on talk page that Wiki article is essential for career, violating ~~WP:SOAP~~WP:PROMOTION. MuffledThud (talk) 11:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I would urge that you leave this page on your site as although not hugely noteable, KingOfTrash is known within the industry and has a growing fanbase across the UK and Europe. It would seem unusual that an emerging artist has no representation on wikipedia, especially one that is connected to the Gay Rights movement in the music industry. Not only a performer, but songwriter, his work is selling well on i-tunes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.0.131.133 (talk) 11:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC) — 94.0.131.133 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. {{ #if: | The preceding unsigned comment was added at {{{2}}} (UTC).}}
Strong Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not for "emerging" musicians, and the above stated it perfectly - he is not notable. (GregJackP (talk) 12:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC))

for your information "Emerging" does not mean un-noteable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinips (talk • contribs) 13:42, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

:*Comment - the not notable comment was directed at the statement that the previous IP editor made, which said "not hugely noteable." To qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia, a musician must meet the standards of WP:MUSICBIO, but I don't believe that KingOfTrash meets that standard. In addition, there is a conflict of interest issue, and the article appears to be added for promotional reasons. (GregJackP (talk) 14:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC))

:*Comment: "Emerging" means "not important yet but somebody thinks they may be in the future". Hence, it almost always implies non-notability. — Gwalla | Talk 19:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete. I only see one article from the BBC that talks about him at great length. The rest is Facebook, iTunes store, and otherwise inconsequential. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 15:44, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
