 * Keep. Guitarist for Blatz, also known as Robert Burnett. He published and edited the very influential zine Absolutely Zippo. Rolling Stone calls him a pivotal figure. He was featured in the documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk. Also there is significant coverage of him in several books and journal articles about the punk scene. Also, this is one of a series of sometimes questionable deletion nominations by a seemingly aggrieved editor.  gobonobo  + c 06:12, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep I second (or third) based on Gobonobo's solid research seen above.--Concertmusic (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
