Delete Wikipedia is not the place to help an upstart..... once there is significant coverage then there could be an article.--Moxy (talk) 01:36, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Wikipedia is not for wannabe hiphoppers. Do something and get back to us. And in the meantime, this is the sole Wikipedia activity, who opened his page with "This is the page of Andre Mullen, CEO & Artist Manager at The Inaxxs Group" -- I'm thinking this is a WP:PAID deal.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform for aspiring future notables to gain exposure — we're an encyclopedia on which making it comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa. But this is referenced almost entirely to his own self-published promotional materials, not reliable sources, and the article claims nothing about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be sourced properly.
