Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Hinton
This article isn't in "bad shape". The problem is that it's about a non-notable musician. Wikipedia is not the place for "emerging" or "promising" artists to build a following and get coverage. It is a place for articles about people who are fully "emerged", people who are sufficiently notable to have ''already'' attracted third party, independent, coverage in reliable, verifiable sources, as defined and required by Wikipedia. Nothing in the current article indicates that this has happened. None of the alternative criteria for musicians at  have been met either. The argument that someday this person might become notable is no reason whatsoever to keep the article. The article comes ''after'' they are notable but not before. I wish Nick Winton well in his chosen career, but it's too soon (if ever) for an encyclopedia article about him
