CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship

 * Nominator(s):  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 06:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it is up to the standards of the FL requirements, including the recently added "Redlink" criteria (I've created 10 out of the 11 articles since the requirement was brought up). It's part of my drive to make a "Featured Topic" of all CMLL Championships. Hopefully I've incorporated all the feedback from previous FLs to make this the best one yet (fingers crossed). Thanks in advance.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 06:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * DAB Tool is down but I'm 99.99% sure I don't have any DABs anyway.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 06:13, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There are only two redlinks left and they're not in the actual list, but I plan on turning them blue within the next two weeks as well to make it a "true blue" list.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 12:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Confirmed that there are no dabs. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Two inconsistencies in the print refs:
 * Denotation of pages. For some, you use "p./pp.", while for others there are no abbreviations at all.
 * Well there were a couple I had actually forgotten the page numbers, which is why it didn't looks the same, I fixed it.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 13:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Dashes for page ranges. Use an en dash (–). Right now, you have an em dash in ref 1 and a hyphen in ref 6. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:23, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Dashes all round.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 13:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "it can also be very short wrestlers who works in the Mini division." This should be led into with a semi-colon, not a comma; also, make "works" singular.
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * "the title was vacant until September 1992, when Orito won the title in a match against El Felinito." Little repetition with "title".
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Multiple Mascarita Sagrada links aren't necessary in the lead.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 22:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support – Took care of the last remaining grammar issue myself because it wasn't worth holding up support over. Similar in quality to the many other recent wrestling title FLs.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 23:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Note FLC is currently short of reviewers; please consider reviewing one or more on the nomination list if you have not already (this message is being posted to all running FLCs). Dabomb87 (talk) 23:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments from Will
 * Support: all seems fine.-- Will C  10:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * "The Championship was created in 1992 and is the oldest active Mini-Estrellas title in Mexico" De-cap "Championship".-- Will C  01:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 05:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * "were created after CMLL created their Mini-Estrella championship" A bit redundant, change to "were introduced after CMLL created their Mini-Estrella championship"-- Will C  01:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 05:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * "on March 1, 1992, defeating Espectrito" → "on March 1, 1992 by defeating Espectrito"-- Will C  01:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)'
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 05:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything else seems fine.-- Will C  01:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose
 * You use AAA as an abbreviation before you explain what it means.
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * " in a a so-called " one too many "a"s there.
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "regular sized" should that be hyphenated?
 * I'm not sure, but it is now.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "first Mini-Estrellas champion" should that be "Estrella champion"?
 * The title is named "Mini-Estrellas" so it shouldn't be sigular.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Then is this list incorrectly titled? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I read your comment wrong, it's name right the text is wrong and I will fix
 * "One wrestler has held the title twice, Ultimo Dragoncito, and..." - replace "and" with "while" perhaps, because it currently reads a little odd.
 * Reworded, better? MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Why is there a subsection 3.1 when there's no subsection 3.2?
 * I changed it to a level 2 header, not level 3 since there was only one tournament.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Are location and Event really needed in the table? The only two times they're different you could add a Note.
 * Standard pro-wrestling columns, if nothing else needed to consistency.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The + explanation in the key has a full stop, the other "meaning"s don't...
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "Championship tournaments" section is a little odd for me. I don't think we need the graphic, you can state what happened in prose.
 * It's standard tournament brackets often used for wrestling tournaments, I don't see the harm in the format, prose could be added if you'd like.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk  22:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That section is also unreferenced.
 * Well no it's not, it's covered by the general reference.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "General source on the title until 2000" - what does this mean?
 * It means that the source listed covers the general title history up through 1999, or until 2000 as stated. it's instead of citing it 20 times.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The Rambling Man (talk) 17:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed or explained everything I think.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose from
 * General
 * There is a self-redirect to the article; don't know whether its intentional or not.
 * It links to the tournament section I figured it was alright.
 * Alt text and external links check out fine.
 * Is the term "Minis" officially endorsed by CMLL?
 * Minis is a term that's use in Lucha Libre in general including CMLL.
 * Lead
 * The CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship (Campeonato Mundial Mini-Estrella de CMLL in Spanish) is a professional wrestling championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling-based promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). -- A)Lucha Libre in Mexican Lucha Libre should be Lucha libre
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * A "Mini" is not necessarily a person with dwarfism, as in North American midget professional wrestling; it can also be very short wrestlers who work in the Mini division. -- Is there not a height limit for the broad term of "short"?
 * There used to be a 5 foot max, but some minis go up to 5'6 so there is no actual limit any more.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO it would be helpful if you stated that ever since the division was created there have been no wrestlers over the height of "#'#".-- T ru  c o   503 17:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't state that, I don't have a source on the definitive maximum size of someone billed as a Mini, I know the tallest champion but not the tallest Mini.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 17:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I see, I just feel that "short wrestlers" is too broad. But okay.-- T ru  c o   503 22:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's vague, sadly that's a reflection of how "strict" CMLL is with their divisions (weight as well).  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * When the creator of CMLL's Minis division, Antonio Peña, left CMLL to form his own promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, Mascarita Sagrada and a large number of other Minis left CMLL to join AAA. -- Use the AAA acronym here in both instances.
 * Fixed  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 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. -- I just noticed this, but I think a pipelink to Professional wrestling match types is needed on the word "match"
 * I'd say it's a matter of linking a common term but alrighty it's linked.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but some people might want to know more about the "match" itself.-- T ru  c o   503 17:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * From that point forward the title has not been vacated again. -- How about Since then, the title has not been vacated. or The title has not been vacated since then.?
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In 1999, in a so-called "Phantom title switch", then-champion Damiancito el Guerrero had the championship stripped and given to Ultimo Dragoncito without a match taking place. -- Who calls it a "Phantom title switch"?
 * It's a general wrestling term.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Then what's the point of saying so-called??-- T ru  c o   503 17:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well for non-wrestling fans it's not like it's a common term it's "so called" in the wrestling venacular.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 17:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I see.-- T ru  c o   503 22:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The first Mini-Estrella champion was Mascarita Sagrada; he is also the wrestler to have held the title the shortest amount of time, at 110 days, and the only champion to have vacated the title. -- Since you already stated he was the champion before, its really repetitive to mention it again..instead how about In addition to being the first champion, Mascarita Sagrada is the only wrestler to....etc. [remember what I told you in previous FLC's about the pronoun usage of "[name of title] Champion]" or "[name of title] Championship"
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ultimo Dragoncito is the only wrestler to hold the title twice,, while Pequeño Olimpico has held the title the longest of any champion, at 1,442 days.[4][5] -- Extra comma not needed
 * Fixed  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * List
 * Note
 * Remove the link to the AAA and mention it in its acronym form; already in lead
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Instead of "left promotion" -> "left CMLL"
 * Fixed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Tournament
 * I feel this should come first in the TOC, or at least under the "Title History" section like ==Title history== then ===Tournament=== then ===Reigns===
 * I figured that the two title history sections are related and should thus follow each other IMO.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't quite understand. It would better if you had the Tournament first since that's what came first in the history of the title, then the reigns themselves which followed the tournament.-- T ru  c o   503 17:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I would disagree, it's already mentioned how the first champion is crowned, then the title history and finally some details on the tournament that's not really necessary for the lead.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 17:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope you know that I'm talking about the section headers right? Not the lead. Take a look:
 * ==Title history==
 * ===1992 CMLL World Mini-Estrella tournament===
 * ===Reigns===
 * ==Reigns by combined length==
 * ==Footnotes==
 * ==References== -- T ru  c o   503 22:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes I got that, but I think that the two tables should follow each other, then the tournament brackets.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 22:33, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The tables will still follow each other, the thing is its really random how the tournament is at the bottom of the article.-- T ru  c o   503 02:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to be dificult here, but to me the general title history is the main point of the article, which is why I think that the title history list should be the first thing presented after the intro, I haven't seen a single title history where tournament brackets come before the title history.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 13:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's the thing, however, this list is about the championship itself as well and not just the list of reigns. So the article should be arranged chronologically, like it is introduced in the lead. -- T ru  c o   503 19:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So if the title was vacated tomorrow it would go "tournament 1 / Reings / Combined reigns / tornament 2" - Title histories should be generally uniform in layout, especially within the same federation and not every title history has a tournament to crown the first champion, what if the tournament was for the 3rd or 5th reign? By your logic it should break the list up.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 00:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll let this go.-- T ru  c o   503 03:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Footnotes
 * Because Ultimo Dragoncito had more than one reign, you should denote which reign this was.
 * Done, although it's pretty clear which one it is from where the note is placed.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * References
 * The specific refs title is missing.-- T ru  c o   503 03:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope it's not, the title of the book is "Wrestling Title Histories", the chapter is "Mexico: EMLL CMLL Midget (miniestrella) Title" and the page is "396", all of which is there.  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 07:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I mean that you have the "General refs" title but not the "Specific refs" title listed; see NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship.-- T ru  c o   503 17:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Gotcha!  MPJ-DK  (No Drama) Talk 17:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved/clarified; list now meets WP:WIAFL.-- T ru  c o   503 03:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support per Dabomb, Giants, and Truco's reviews.  iMatthew  talk   at 20:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
