Non-notable BLP. Searching finding self-promotion, not independent coverage. Dennis Brown (talk) 12:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Given that none of the people who created or edited this page are Chris Trout, deletion on the grounds of 'self-promotion' hardly fits the bill. Are more external sources are needed to establish notability? Could these be in the form of album reviews, interviews etc.?

The reason I created the page was to join dots: several of the bands CT was/is in have wiki pages themselves and surely one of the main aims of Wikipedia is to make quick connections possible, to follow links and establish context? Thus making the connections between various bands via their members is a worthwhile project.

 * Keep He meets point #6 of our notability guideline for musicians, which says that "a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles" is presumed to be notable. Trout has been a member of three notable bands that have Wikipedia articles.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  15:53, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a member of several notable bands, he's notable.--Michig (talk) 19:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
