Brian Doherty (journalist)
I think this page should probably not be deleted. But I found a speedy tag on it, and since I'm not sure of the protocol, I thought that rather than just removing the speedy I thought it better to downgrade it one step to a regular VfD, out of respect for the original tagger.

 * Keep. Doherty is an editor (senior or not, I don't know) at the extremely notable Reason magazine, he did write the Burning Man book, and he did found Cherry Records (don't know if that's notable). I don't know about the truth of the punk-band thing. Herostratus 17:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Herostratus. - Wezzo 17:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - especially since he wrote the Burning Man book. That definitely makes him notable.  --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 18:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 18:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per nom. -- JJay 20:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Recommend Speedy Keep and Close. I had thought the speedy was placed by a certain respected editor; turns out it was by someone else, who I'm sure is also a fine editor but his expertise is in another field, and I suspect placed it by mistake. Sorry about all that. Herostratus 22:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
