- 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.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 02:42, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

The band is the main subject of [http://cdmd.cnki.com.cn/Article/CDMD-10183-1016077922.htm an academic paper], and it is covered in some news sources ([https://www.hk01.com/%E8%97%9D%E6%96%87%E5%89%B5%E6%84%8F/75350/%E8%96%A9%E6%BB%BF%E6%A8%82%E9%9A%8A%E6%88%90%E8%BB%8D%E5%8D%81%E5%B9%B4%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E6%BC%94%E5%87%BA-%E7%8F%BE%E5%A0%B4%E8%A6%8B%E8%AD%89%E7%A5%9E%E8%A9%B1-%E6%96%87%E5%AD%B8%E8%88%87%E9%87%91%E5%B1%AC%E9%9F%B3%E6%A8%82%E5%85%B1%E8%9E%8D ]、[http://news.xwh.cn/2016/0619/366438.shtml]). --Antigng (talk) 06:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
