I am nominating this for featured list because I feel like it's up to the level of my previously successful Feature List nomination and I have incorporated the feedback from those three plus a current FLc into this list as well, with each FLc I lean something, improving the next one and so forth.

General
  • Dabs, external links check out fine
Lead
  • The CMLL World Middleweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial peso Medio de CMLL in Spanish) is a professional wrestling championship promoted by the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). -- Me being Hispanic, I understand Spanish. So since Peso Medio is a pronoun, peso should be capitalized
  • Being a professional wrestling championship it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. -- 1)Comma after championship 2)I've learned that this is a cause and effect type sentence so the semicolon should just be a regular colon, this needs to be changed in all of your lists.
  • Because Lucha Libre emphasizes the lower weight classes, this division is considered more important than the normally more prestigious heavyweight division of a promotion. -- 1)Link to Lucha Libre 2)I would note earlier in the lead the CMLL is a lucha libre based promotion, same with your other lists.
  • Not that I mind changing it (and I did) but I thought that the fact that "Lucha Libre" was in the name of the promotion was a dead giveaway, however it is another one I will edit for consistency through out past and future FLs. MPJ-DK (talk) 05:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blue Panther became the first champion in 1991, winning the 16-man tournament. --> Blue Panther was officially recognized as the first champion in 1991, after winning a 16-man tournament.
  • The Championship lineage was interrupted in 1992, when Blue Panther left CMLL to work for rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), leaving the Championship Vacant. --> The championship's history was interrupted in 1992 with its only vacation [pipe link vacant here], when Blue Panther left CMLL to work for rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).
  • El Dandy defeated Negro Casas in a match to decide the new champion, since then the Championship has not been vacated. --> El Dandy defeated Negro Casas in a singles match [pipelink to professional wrestling match types#Variations of singles matches] on July 3, 1992 to decide the new champion.
  • Fixed. MPJ-DK (talk) 05:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Averno is the current CMLL World Middleweight Champion, having defeated Negro Casas for the Championship on September 17, 2006. -- 1)The link to Negro Casas should come in its first instance, which is not in this sentence 2)Uncapitalize championship, do not capitalize things like Title or Champion/Championship unless its being used with the proper name of the title.
  • He is the 13th overall champion and the tenth person to hold the Championship. -- Uncapitalize Championship
  • El Dandy is the only wrestler to have won the Championship three times and also the individual with the shortest reign, 63 days. --> El Dandy has had the most reigns as champion, with three; he also holds the shortest reign at 63 days.
  • Satánico's single Championship reign is the longest reign with 1,563 days. -- Uncapitalize Championship, the with should be 'at'
Footnotes
  • Support -- I replied to a few comments in the capped box, mainly to say that I did a few fixes that I missed and general copyediting. Previous issues resolved/clarified; list meets WP:WIAFL.--Truco 503 15:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
  • "it is not won legitimately: it is instead" Semicolon, not colon.
  • "he also holds the shortest reign at 63 days"-->he also holds the shortest reign at, 63 days
  • "Satánico's single championship reign is the longest reign at 1,563 days."-->Satánico's single championship reign is the longest reign, at 1,563 days.
  • Can you change the symbol in the "Championship reigns by length" table? I find the copyright symbol usage very strange.
  • If the general ref is for title changes before 2000, what sources Emilio Charles, Jr.'s reign dates?
  • In the table, for the location column, could you make it so that "N/A" sorts last (or first) instead of in the middle somewhere?
  • "everyday"-->every day (should be changed in other lists, too)

  • of the Middleweight weight class: Middleweight -> middleweight
  • Statistics correct as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}. That is a big no no! You are basically saying the statisitics are and will always be correct!
  • Really? I got some FLs to change then, but with a template that counts the days it changes every day so if I say "correct as of today's date" then that statement is tomorrow incorrect and I'd have to update the date every day. MPJ-DK (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't know, I just spotted it and thought that automatically asserting that a list is always correct must be wrong. Prior to FLC related work on 22 June this is a low traffic page and I suspect if you left and someone else won the title it may not get updated for a while. Do any other reviewers have an opinion on this? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:16, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sadly I agree, it probably wouldn't be kept as up to date as they see little activity right now. Maybe instead of "correct as of" I put something like "table last updated on" and a specific date? MPJ-DK (talk) 12:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a ref covering the locations and dates?
  • The source at the end of each line cites all the information in the line, if there is no specific citation it's covered by the general reference listed in the References section, that source covers locations & dates as well. MPJ-DK (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The championship's history was interrupted in 1992 with its only vacancy, when Blue Panther left CMLL to work for rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). citation?
  • defeated Negro Casas appears in lead & notes. Citation?
  • defeated Satánico in a tournament final Citation?
  • after winning a 16-man tournament, link is not relevant. This looks like something that should be in the Light Heavyweight page but not here.
  • I'm not sure a merge to CMLL World Middleweight Championship is out of the question. That page is 4,706 bytes and this is 9,946 bytes, a combined size would still be small, and this just seems like oversplitting.
  • The main championship article will be expanded with more history, tournament brackets etc which would disqualify it as a list but borderline too "listy" for GA. MPJ-DK (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments –
  • Promotion is linked twice in the first paragraph; one is enough.
  • "He is the 13th overall champion and the tenth person to hold the championship." Because the two figures are comparative quantities, they should be given in the same way. I would change tenth to 10th, but the other way would work okay.
  • Footnote: Comma after "upper limit".

Support – Meets the standards. Giants2008 (17–14) 17:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
