WP:BLP that does not meet WP:BIO or WP:ACADEMIC. Minimal citation found in journal search, no in-depth coverage in web or news sources. Tgeairn (talk) 19:18, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Sirkin is notable for his work in the field of relational disorders. Many works in the field cite his works. Furthermore he has collaborated in peer-reviewed journals in association with noted peers in the field of psychology. He was the Director of Group Training and Research at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, which makes him a senior faculty member.

 * Delete: Insufficient substantial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources to meet any of our notability guidelines. Solid, but not remarkable academic with no extraordinary accomplishments or awards, and coverage that is run-of-the-mill, routine and trivial at best, and perhaps even lackluster. My own searches turned up nothing promising. Fails WP:PROF by a wide mile. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 16:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete One important paper here, with over 450 cites, but it was work done as an grad student & he was not the primary author. We need an article on his quite notable advisor, Donald Mosher. His book, fwiw, is in only 6 libraries.  DGG ( talk ) 05:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: Sadly, no evidence of meeting WP:PROF and WP:ACADEMIC. All I can see is self-publish work, that are insufficient to merit an article here. Wikicology (talk) 22:28, 6 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: I notice that he wrote one book, The Secret Life of Corporations. However, I only found the book reviewed in one place and that was apparently written by someone well acquainted with him. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 06:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete--does not seem to pass WP:PROF (or GNG); with thanks to DGG for his good work. Drmies (talk) 03:29, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Given whats available about the only possibility for notability is WP:PROF #7, but I don't see evidence for it either. I am One of Many (talk) 04:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
