Comment: There is already a paragraph in Nepathya which mentions some (but not all) the content of this article. The RS, such as the BBC, arguably República, relates to the group rather than the person. Realistically, pragmatically, it would be best to add a bit more to the band's article about the subject, since the notability process here is not proven. Maybe later, with more RS (in depth, independent) there would be a better argument. The band's bio isn't that big so building Nepathya's article would be a better approach for the time being.
