List of former championships in World Wrestling Entertainment

 * ''Nominator(s): Truco (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel that it meets the FL criteria, and in hopes of a future FT of the former titles. Yes I know the lead is a tag long, but that hasn't been a problem at FLC before. This is the first of this type of list at FLC, so I don't know what to expect. Happy reviewing ;)--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   01:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The paragraphs are not consistent, try to merge into two dense, or three that are proportional. While editing, hide temporarily the image (using ) and see how the paragraphs are divided.  C anniba  loki  03:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's because they all are about different topics. The first is mostly about the early history of the company and the first titles. The second is about the titles that were lent to other promotions, while the last is about titles that were retired as a result of the acquisition of WCW. Which is why they maybe disproportional.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   01:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * With the addition of the wrestling title book you actually also have a source to say that this is as accurate a list as you're going to get, they did a LOT of research and if they don't mentione another WWWF/WWF/WWE title then there isn't one or it was too short lived to even matter. A problem a lot of "list of fomer" lists suffer from, excellent. MPJ-DK (talk) 08:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   14:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I still think this could be merged with List of current champions in World Wrestling Entertainment to create a "List of World Wrestling Entertainment championships", but I guess the PW project disagrees with me. -- Scorpion 0422  16:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Considering the article sizes of each, I disagree.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   17:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments -
 * Any reason why brackets are used in the first sentence instead of parentheses? I suppose it's not a big deal, but it's not what I'm used to seeing.
 * That's how I was taught in school to use them, versus parenthesis. --Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Professional wrestling doesn't need two links in the first two sentences.
 * How did I miss that? Done.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * "In 1963, CWC was renamed as the WWWF and ended their partnership with the NWA". Change "their" to "its" so the tense remains consistent in the article. Also, I'd just end the sentence here instead of using a semi-colon; I find it odd to have two semi-colons in a sentence.
 * I split them into three sentences. The their was also changed.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there no reference avaliable for the WWF International Championship in the table?
 * Whoops, it was in the lead but I forgot to place it in the table.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In the note for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, remove the parentheses from the 2001 Survivor Series and pipe the link.
 * Well that is the article title, but done.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * For the WWE European Championship, the references are out of order.
 * Done.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Another "their" in footnote A that can be changed to "its".  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 21:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Done.--Best,  ₮ RU  C Ө   21:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Looks like it meets FL standards after the changes.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 22:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak support - meets the criteria, still not keen on the acronym farm for a lead, but unavoidable I guess. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
