Non-notable school hockey coach - fails WP:BIO. ukexpat (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Inducted into US Hockey Hall of Fame in 1973, among the very first class of inductees (see  "The game had been earlier introduced at St. Paul’s from Canada, but Malcom Gordon is regarded as the individual who helped formalize the game by putting down on paper what is regarded as the first set of rules in the United States. "   also.   obit in New York Times.  " Malcolm Kenneth Gordon, who taught history and hockey to boys 75 years ago — and gave his final lecture only last year —died yesterday at his home here. He was 96 years old."  I suggest a person in a notable hall of fame is notable - and the fact is he made the NYT.   NYT: "When Malcolm Kenneth Gordon, 87 - year - old master of history at the Malcolm Gordon School here, talks about hockey, he really dips into the past. " 1955.  NHL Official Guide & Record Book (2006)"Gordon, Malcolm K. 1973 ",  etc.  In short - easily shown to be quite notable. Collect (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
