Non-notable article subject, evidently not substantially covered in multiple reliable sources. Would seem very unlikely to ever become more of an article than at present. Ødipus 12:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Having found satisfying RS on the subject, I'd like to withdraw this nomination and apologize for wasting people's time. Ødipus 21:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - I'm going to see if I can find out what the general consensus is on major sports officials, but he definitely had a long career. If some referees are considered to be notable, he certainly would be having officiated 6 Stanley Cup finals. matt91486 (talk) 19:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I looked at the IceHockey WikiProject and they've been trying to determine this very consensus. They've been going along the lines of the baseball wikiproject's standard which is "Have served as a Major League Baseball umpire on a regular league staff and have worked in at least one postseason or All-Star Game; umpires of the 19th century must have worked in at least 200 games. Minor league umpires are considered notable only if they have been elected to a league hall of fame or earned a similarly extraordinary honor, or if they have accomplished some historic achievement."  If we translate this to hockey, Gauthier easily exceeds these requirements having done more than 2000 games (considering the hockey season is half of the baseball season, that's more than 20 seasons as an NHL ref) and the 6 Stanley Cup finals. matt91486 (talk) 19:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Over 2,000 games worked during 32yrs? Certainly notable. GoodDay (talk) 20:24, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
