Biography of a non-notable person, who fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. So much unsourced BLP and WP:PUFFERY. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or Userfy - Notable person with bad references. Page should stay but the references should be improved upon. -- ☣  Anar chyte  ☣ 00:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll work on the references this week and get them up to par. Am I responding to these correctly? This has been an extremely confusing process and I appreciate your assistance User:Anarchyte Thank you! TGCJKS197276 (talk) 02:37, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete no evidence of notability under WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR, and the references that are there seem to be primarily PR or notices. The one book that is claimed to be a best seller on Amazon was self published using Create Space, and, According to WorldCat, held in only one  library WorldCat book entry. The other publications listed in WorldCat are mainly training videos. Analysis of his citation record is complicated because there is another CL Sips who works on mentoring of adolescents  and is quite possible  notable;   the 1 paper I found in GS (and for which is is only one of an number of authors) ," Proposal for a New Screening Paradigm.." has only 31 citations. GS shows that really important articles in  this field have 1000s of citations.  We should hunt up the researchers writing these and write article on them.  DGG ( talk ) 06:16, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. We don't have evidence for passing WP:GNG nor WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:36, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. To add to the above, WoS shows he has written many papers, none of which have been cited a single time. The paper David mentioned above has 14 citations, but Sipe is neither corresponding nor first author. References are almost all web ephemera. Agricola44 (talk) 16:43, 27 May 2015 (UTC).
 * Update I am working on the citations over the next couple of days. I'm trying to get the article up to par and will be citing the WoS papers as well. Thank you all for your time and for the assistance. TGCJKS197276 (talk) 16:07, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

 * I doubt it will make much difference to the outcome, which looks reasonably clear at this point, but for me this implies that we should not userfy this article, just delete it. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
