I don't think this contestant of a music competition is sufficiently notable. Unless notability shown, Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. Possibly would have been different if he'd made it to the Eurovision Song Contest, but second place in the feeder competition for Denmark doesn't really satisfy WP:Music. SingCal (talk) 21:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:MUSIC criterion #9, which says "won or placed in a major music competition". He won Stjerne for en Aften and was second in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2007 (describing the latter as a "feeder competition" belies its significance -- we're talking about something on national television with its own DVD release). I feel there are WP:BIAS issues here given the non-Anglophone nature of these contests. Bondegezou (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
