Promotional spam for non notable musician. Built by a plethora of SPA accounts and IPs. Sourced to advertorials and non reliable sources with one possible exception but one source is not enough. (Note, this is a cleaned up article, see here for pre cleanup. Promotional editing is returning post cleanup.) (side note, Hey Oh video is good for a laugh, not just for how awful the song is but also the bad faked crowd. duffbeerforme (talk) 02:03, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I tried to give this musician the benefit of the doubt, because he has been around for a long time and has a few fairly informative album reviews (e.g. [1], [2]). He has been noticed in several publications, as already cited in the article, but on closer reading just about all of those articles appear to be reprinted press releases and self-written promos, with peacock language like "Christopher Sluka doesn’t do things halfway" or (get this) "Multi-faceted performer, songwriter and aesthetic visionary" that you would not get from objective reporters. Non-peacock coverage is sparse and purely local. Granted, he's good at spreading self-promotional materials around the Internet, but after several decades he just hasn't achieved much objective coverage. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:33, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Christopher Sluka has significant information (although minimal) published online that has been cited throughout the page. It would be better to keep this page live and give it time to build-up using new, more relevant information.---Cherri Gipson 19:52, 17 November 2021 (UTC)— Cherri Gipson (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Just because it's online that doesn't mean it's reliable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:53, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I completely understand your point, which is why I'm in the favor of giving this page some time to mature by editing in reliable, new information.---Cherri Gipson 19:53, 18 November 2021 (UTC)— Cherri Gipson (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I agree with Cherri Gipson. It would be fair to give this page a chance to add in new information and remove the outdated info.---Sarah Hayland 18:54, 19 November 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarah Hayland (talk • contribs) — Sarah Hayland (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep - As per my research, I believe that this page has not been updated and contains outdated information. However, there is new information that can be found online. It is advised to give this page some time to mature by adding relevant information and removing self-promotional materials as pointed out by Doomsdayer520. ---Sarah Hayland 18:57, 19 November 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarah Hayland (talk • contribs) — Sarah Hayland (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete Lacks significant coverage. Obvious socks and meatpuppets are obvious. Hemiauchenia (talk) 06:55, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
