[edit] Art Cayford

As per a discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey it is felt that just because a persons name is inscribed on the Stanley Cup (NHL championship trophy) they do not warrant their own article unless they were an actual player on the team. This particular gentleman was only a secretary-treasurer for the team and I do not believe that makes him notable enough to have his own article. We intend to create a list of such people instead of individual articles. Djsasso 17:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I've never heard of this guy, until now. That how non-notable he is. GoodDay 17:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete GoodDay you put a lot of faith in your hockey knowledge, tres bien. I think I even know MORE about hockey then GoodDay ;), but I've never heard of this guy either. However, having said that, having said that in the discussion someone mentioned he had won 10 Stanley Cups with the Habs, which no matter what position you have on the team is no small accomplishment. However, I could not find his name anywhere in the NHL Official Guide & Record Book, which could says to me that he didn't actually get recognition for winning those cups.

• Delete per norm. There aren't any sources to back it up to further anything. Kaiser matias 17:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, fails WP:V, WP:BIO. Cayford didn't "win" a single Stanley Cup. The organization for which he worked did. As much distinction applies to the assistant general manager's secretary, the fellow the team hired to swab out the dressing room showers, and the ushers in the Forum. There aren't Wikipedia articles about them either.  RGTraynor  20:01, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
