Comment: I'm going to beg you to convert all those references into inline citations. The only inline citation doesn't seem to verify much. Please, if you really found that many source about the subject, at least, write a bit more about the person. You didn't even mention when and where he was born!

- Comment: Individual notability has not been demonstrated for Slater. Please add references that are more about him and less about the band. Frost 15:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
