Delete - per extensive precedent, lists of cover songs are not
notable. If a particular cover song is notable then it should be mentioned in an article for the song.

Keep I don't think you've read the article at all. Under the cover section, it says that cover songs have actually won awards (see also
List of S.H.E Awards). This list is here because the group is actually NOTABLE for covering songs (see
S.H.E#Lack of originality). Seeing as S.H.E is already a notable group in Taiwan (i.e. the ROC), then it would be expected that these covers also made regular appearances on the radio, which, according to
this,
this,
this,
this, and
this, is in fact the case. It would really help if you actually started reading the article, thanks.

First off, keep a
civil tongue in your head. As for your specific objection, any song by S.H.E that's won an award is notable in and of itself and should either be added to the band's discography or have an article written about it. A list of every song they've covered is not encyclopedic.

Abstain I am not familiar with the precedent, but I'm not familiar with S.H.E either. All I know about them came from Wikipedia. --

Again, I shall reiterate once again that the group is notable for covering songs by other artists. There was an article in the Beijing Times that I'd gladly share with you that essentially says "Lots of [Chinese] artists have covered songs, but the extent that S.H.E has covered songs is just disgusting." This isn't the same as the other artists you provided, who compose the majority of their own work, and use covers simply to complement their other songs. S.H.E's first single as a cover. The lead single for their second album was also a cover. Both of their compilation albums have two covers.

Keep. As it shows the difference of original songs and also Covers and Parodies in all S.H.E's album. Somemore it shows the original songs which is quite hard to get this information online.

Keep/merge for the reasons given by
Reinhard tan. This group may be very cheesy, but they are very significant in
Mandopop, and the article helps explain an important aspect of their success. If merged into the discography, no information should be lost.
