Sports is not my speciality, but this is a linesman, not even a referee. The only decent source I can find is the one in the article. Fails WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 10:38, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are several Linesmen who got Wikipedia pages. He is also included in the Hall of Fame 1 and officiating 2000+ games is not a small achievement I think. Thanks Fifthapril (talk) 14:24, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's two articles which I would say are SIGCOV: this from the Edmonton Journal and this from the LeDuc Sports Hall of Fame website. There also an offline source in the article from the LeDuc Representative which, from the title, is maybe SIGCOV. So we've got two pieces of SIGCOV (enough to meet GNG, which only requires multiple pieces of SIGCOV (two is multiple)), and considering his accomplishments (over 2,100 games officiated, a Stanley Cup officiated, inducted into a Hall of Fame), I say Weak Keep.

Keep: Mitton meets the minimum for GNG as per the articles listed above. Flibirigit (talk) 11:19, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
