Not notable magazine --ChristianandJericho 11:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC) ChristianandJericho 11:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So it's just not notable?. Why is that exactly? - Bkid Talk/Contribs 11:35, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This nom is ridiculous. It's very easy to find references to this magazine through Google, and there are half a dozen such links in the references for the article. In addition, it's mentioned in around 25 Wikipedia articles about heavy metal music - often accompanied by such descriptions as 'long-established, 'respected'. 'heavy metal bible' etc. One of the most telling links to establish notability is the last one, where the extremely well-known band Kiss, on their own website, have a page describing the article about them in Burrn!.

- Keep - I just wanted to add a keep in here. Looking more into the article itself, you nominated this article for deletion a little over 2 hours after it was created. From what I've seen so far, it definitely seems notable as long as it's given the time to be created and cited, which you have not given at all. Unless you provide more than what you've put above, this AfD is going to pass as Keep. - Bkid Talk/Contribs 11:50, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, this user first nommed the article for deletion less than 15 minutes after I had created it, which to my mind is completely unreasonable behaviour, especially towards an established editor. And he seems determined to delete it even after I've provided extensive rationale for its notability. Colonies Chris (talk) 11:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- You sure about that? - Bkid Talk/Contribs 12:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I watchlist CC's page and saw this. It does seem a little hasty to put it up for deletion, particularly given the findings of the recent Summer Research Project at the Foundation (see The Signpost archives), which has found that new editors are really put off by hasty deletions. It's really hard to assemble all of the required information at once when creating an article. Tony (talk) 13:06, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Looks like a major magazine title that has received a fair amount of third-party coverage, even outside Japan. --DAJF (talk) 12:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. Burrn! was cited by Blabbermouth.net ([1]), Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles ([2]). Metal Rules called it of "relevant print magazine" along Guitar World and Rock Hard ([3]). T.R.Elven (talk) 20:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – Per reliable sources in the article that establish notability of the topic, and those listed above. Northamerica1000 (talk) 11:46, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I think we know where this is going. Also, I guess ChristianandJericho gave up this fight and has chosen to harass someone else. - Bkid Talk/Contribs 14:36, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
