I am nominating this page because of the reliable sourcing criteria. Most of the sources the page relies on, "Strong Style Spirit", "Wrestling Information Archive" and "TitleHistories.com" seem to be rather questionable. Some of these sources have been deemed unuseable on FAs, so why should it be any different here? This is largely a test case because there are several other similar lists with questionable sourcing. -- Scorpion0422 02:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove (De-list)-It's funny how you Scorpion supported the promotion of the article to FL, and now you want to remove it ;). I hate to do this as a member of the project, but I checked out where the sources get their information from, "SSS" gets it from the promotion websites, but also fan sites, which is unreliable. Titlehistories.com also does that, as does "WIA". Since there are new standards to meet for FLC's sourcing wise, the article does not meet that.--SRX--LatinoHeat 02:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In my defense, back then I didn't care as much about whether the sources were reliable or not. -- Scorpion0422 02:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's ok. I just pointed it out, not to offend you in any way.SRX--LatinoHeat 03:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment, the NJPW official website has a title history for this championship, which is currently listed in the external links for this article. It is in Japanese, though. Nikki311 00:46, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove unless the lead and citations can be zipped up.
- In defence of Scorpion, WP's standards of citations, referencing and prose for featured content have risen significantly over the past years. That is a large generator of business for this process, and rightly so. The lead is quite inadequate, and heck, when it's a sea of bright blue at the start, please ration the linking to the useful links (see MOS on that). Autoformatting is not mandatory. Space after <, please (MOS). TONY (talk) 03:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- PS Cr 6, please manage the column widths better: dates look bad and notes have wasted room. TONY (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
