 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for advertorial self-promotion, but an encyclopedia. Our content needs to be referenced to reliable source coverage in media, not to the subject's own press releases — and apart from an unverified claim that he topped "the mainstream Australian music charts", which also fails to specify which chart provider is involved and thus could be iTunes for all we know, the only other notability claim here is "got X views on a piece of social media content", which is not a valid notability claim in its own right. (And for the record, my only past involvement here was moving the article from an inappropriate category to a more correct one in a batch of categorization cleanup.) There are no references here that constitute reliable sourcing for a Wikipedia article, and the article doesn't state anything about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have reliable sourcing — and even if a new version can be recreated in the future that makes a better claim of notability and cites better sources for it, he still doesn't get to create the article himself per WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI.

 * Comment The chart referred to is the ARIA physical singles chart which MKF did top. MKF also made the top 50 in the singles chart. See ARIA report 1024 for the peak and 1022 for the entry (links are to pdfs). duffbeerforme (talk) 01:33, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:VSCA. This spam was apparently created by the subject himself with few or little credible independent sources, and it's relly a wonder how this has survived on WP for so many years before being spotted for what it truly is. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 09:26, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
