Bio of a man whose only claim to notability is holding some patents. The Chicago Tribune ref provided is the single source I can find to support the article (I can’t read it from the UK). There’s a Youtube video, a blog and a family-authored obituary, and nothing else I can find. Mccapra (talk) 04:16, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge to Carbon-filament bulb, which in a section called 'Resurgence' names someone who started selling these bulbs in the 1980s, but does not mention Robert Kyp who starting manufacturing them in 1964. The Chicago Tribune source is good, but I can't find anything else besides 2 paras in a 1989 Associated Press article "Right Use of Period Light Fixtures", and a 2001 article in The Houston Herald about a firm called JLD Inc., which took over the manufacture of the bulbs after Kyp closed up (and in which Kyp had a 25% interest) . I don't think that's quite enough to meet WP:BASIC - although there is certainly more information in all three sources which could be added to this article.
