I came across this as an WP:A7, but on the talk page the article's creator claims that they've collaborated with Bones. Bones's article offhand has issues with sourcing (an over reliance on social media and non-RS like Vice), but his article isn't the one up for discussion and this is enough to give at least a slight assertion of notability.

A search for sourcing brings up little to nothing that would establish notability. There are a few mentions here and there, typically in routine notifications of performances. There are some places like Vice that give some coverage, but not in a place that would be both in-depth and reliable. (The problem with Vice is that they engage in gonzo journalism and have frequently been deemed non-reliable at WP:RS/N.) They've occasionally featured on other people's mixtapes but none of this has translated into in-depth coverage for the group. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:25, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, for now. The band is certainly bubbling under in terms of mentions-in-passing, but I can't see any sign that this article meets the WP:MUSIC notability standard yet. Once they've had more success, the article can then be re-proposed for creation. -- The Anome (talk) 17:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
