This is a legitimate entry. I've abided by as many wikipedia guidelines and formatting as I could find and spent a considerable time researching this subject. The article is chalk full of notoriety and importance, i don't understand why it should be flagged. Many people who work/worked intimately with Make Magazine have entries, why shouldn't this guy?

Kip Kay will soon be edited, and is important to future inventors and creators. He has appeared on Science channel on TV and has been mentioned on major TV news networks such as Columbus, Ohio's NBC 4. His videos have thousands of views a day and his personal web page gets thousands of hits daily as well. Please do not delete this personal page, as it will soon be edited by the man himself soon.

This article doesn't mention that Kip also works for Make_(magazine), mostly doing videos for Weekend Projects featured in the magazine. Just thought I'd point it out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.77.22.171 ( talk) 21:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I thought Wikipedia had rules against articles obviously written as adverts.
This article has clearly been written either by Kip Kay himself, or someone associated with him.
As well, I'm not convinced of his notability. He's a Youtube user who has a lot of subscribers.... does that make him notable enough to warrant an entire page on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.197.157.85 ( talk) 02:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I think the former article was promotional, but the current version is acceptable -- not perfect, but much better. About the comment about "self-promotion"; I can assure you that I am not Kip Kay, nor am I associated with him in any context. And I wrote much of the current article. Kip Kay didn't. I think the guy is interesting, and notable partly by virtue of the huge interest his videos have attracted on YouTube (this is my personal opinion) -- but he's also covered by other places as well and meets notability guidelines because of this coverage. So I don't think the proposed deletion (by an anonymous user) is reasonable; if people think it should be deleted, then the proper course is AfD but I will vote keep.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 13:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Is there any proof that KipKay was born in 1957? He's a YouTuber, so that can't be truth! 82.13.79.52 ( talk) 16:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the following unsourced text. If it is later found to be notable and sourced it can be added later with citations.
Might be nothing, but there's quite a bit of discussion among the laser communities about Kipkay's dangerous "hacks", as many of them are extremely dangerous, and don't mention safety in a noticeable fashion, or not at all. This might be a good new section here? I'm just mentioning it, as many well-known people have criticized his dangerous creations, many of which are outright lies or mention little, if any, laser safety. 50.40.230.231 ( talk) 16:36, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
This page is more susceptible to vandalism from Kip Kay's falling YouTube fame by people who have begun to 'hate' on him. It's pointless to keep this article, it's just a stub. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbabb7 ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
It seems this article is being edited alot lately regarding the death of Kipkay claiming he died May 30, 2012 in Florida, it is being corrected quiet fast but I think we should look into this a bit deeper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.120.195 ( talk) 23:25, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
This page reads like a promotional piece. I like his videos, but I don't think he's notable enough to be included on here.
