 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete. Had a look but could find no evidence of notability, general or musical. Hampered a bit by their name just being an alternate spelling of "shaman", which their Chinese name translates to, and searching for it finds mostly things on shamans, shamanism etc.. But if they were notable would expect to find something other than social media.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:42, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I do find something other than social media. The band is the main subject of an academic paper, and it is covered in some news sources (、). --Antigng (talk) 06:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
