The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: This article was newly expanded when nominated, is long enough (>4,300 chars), and shows no signs of plagiarism from online sources. It maintains a suitably neutral tone, establishing the subject's notability without getting too laudatory. The QPQ review looks good. The claims in the article are all supported by cited sources. The hook has some interesting firsts and is present in the article, supported by a cited source. Admins could consider adding the infobox image from the article, if they wanted a hook with an interesting image. The article looks ready for DYK to me. Good work!

"A native of Havana, Cuba" remove Cuba here after you add Cuban to first sentence.
Removed.
Added cats: Cuban male sport wrestlers, Columbia Lions wrestlers.
Remove refs from lead.
Removed.
Do you known when he moved to the US?
Didn't see anything mentioning it.
Link London in lead I suppose.
Linked.
"he regained the title of NYAC middleweight champion" I didn't know he won it, the previous sentences didn't say anything about middleweight?
I didn't see middleweight in the source, or remember why I put that, so I removed 'middleweight'.
"The National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum summarized his career" He didn't get inducted, did he?
He did not, as far as I can tell – the Hall of Fame wrote an article about Latino wrestlers and talked about him, but it doesn't look like he was inducted.
Just curious how you know that picture is circa "1900s–1910s".
It looks like a picture from his career and his career was in those years. Could remove it if you like.
Remove "Nationality: Latino" from infobox. Not a nationality.
