Non-notable person. Most significant claim is selling out "750+" venues and opening for notable musical groups. PROD was declined by article creator without comment. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:01, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: whoever wrote this has massively overhyped Trent's claims to fame. "HLF" were Her Latest Flame, who Trent did indeed play for. The "opening act for The Killers and Muse" claim is based on HLF playing the same festival (on a completely different stage) at the Big Day Out 2007, and only then in Adelaide, not any of the other Big Day Out venues.[1] I suspect that might go for the other notable acts that HLF "opened for". Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 (talk) 15:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A puzzling entry that in one sentence claims to have performed as the opening act for big name artists, but the next sentence states his only performances have been private? And, yes, wikipedia is full of resume-padding verbiage such as “opened for…” or “shared the stage with…” among acts that are merely one of dozens of bands that fill out the rosters at multi-day music festivals, performing on side stages or in the filler slots while crowds are filing in, muling about, and in general indifferent to what is happening on stage. But… all that aside, I’m voting delete because there are no references and a google search turns up nothing beyond social media. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
