   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "the UWA World Women's Championship once and the Japanese All Pacific Championship once." - and both the Mexican National Women's Championship and the UWA World Women's Championship once.

Professional wrestling career

• "it is not certain who Romero won the championship from" - uncertain as to who Romero
• "In 1965/1966" - 1965 to 1966
• "Records are uncertain when Romero's third and final reign as the Mexican National Women's Championship ended," - uncertain as to when
• "as a result of her Lucha de APuestas victory on November 1, 1975." - the character in bold is unneeded
• "working for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW)" - the acronyms are unneeded since they are not used again
• "on a Universal Wrestling Association show." - the acronyms of UWA should be mentioned in parentheses
• "in which Romero defeated Vicki Williams to win the UWA World Women's Championship," - the comma should be replaced by a period to end the sentence
• "forcing her to be shaved bald afterwards" - afterward
• "shaved bald afterwards," - the comma should be replaced by a period to end the sentence
• "for reasons that have not been documented." - undocumented reasons.

Death

• "Isabela Romero Rangel died on April 19, 1985." - What did she die of? Do we know?

References

• Try not to use a reference from Facebook if possible

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 19:42, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

• Article history

)

• ... that Chabela Romero, a pioneer in Mexican women's wrestling, had a feud with Irma González that played out over three continents? Source: Too many - basically the entire third paragraph - continents are North America (via Mexico), South America (via Panama), and Asia (via Japan).

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/The Little Players
• Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get articles from under-represented areas into DYK. This is nomination 5 in that effort.

Improved to Good Article status by MPJ-DK (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 05:37, 29 May 2020 (UTC).

• Y Article is long enough (3360 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA 28 May, nominated on 29 May), and article is within policy
• Y Hook is short enough, interested, well cited, and true (feud is in Mexico, Panama, Japan which are in North America, Central/South America, and Asia, so 3 different continents)
• Y QPQ done
• Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:39, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

• @MPJ-DK and Joseph2302: I came to promote this but stopped because of the word "pioneer" which is not mentioned or cited in the article. Without strong sourcing it reads like puffery. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 22:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

• It does not say "Pioneer", but does mention she was among the first group of Mexicn women to wrestle, which "Pioneer" is a synonym for - or reword it to actually say that instead of the word "pioneer"? MPJ-DK (talk) 22:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

• I was going to propose a rewrite, but honestly, I think you're wrong on this one, Coffeeandcrumbs. Pioneer isn't puffery. wiktionary:pioneer defines the word as "A person or other entity who is first or among the earliest in any field of inquiry, enterprise, or progress." The source says that she was among the first female Mexican wrestlers. This one seems like a non-issue. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:52, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

• Let's just promote it without "pioneer":

• ALT1: ... that Mexican professional wrestler Chabela Romero had a feud with Irma González that played out over three continents? Yoninah (talk) 20:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but I'm having trouble seeing 3 continents. I see she won in Panama, Japan, and Mexico. Panama is in Central America, which isn't even a continent. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

• Per the Wikipedia article Panama, it "is a transcontinental country in Central America and South America". Though I understand your objection. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that Mexican professional wrestler Chabela Romero had a feud with Irma González that played out across nine years and three countries?

How's that Yoninah? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

• @The Squirrel Conspiracy: nice. But from June 1971 to February 1979 is close to eight years. Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

ALT2aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah: ... that Mexican professional wrestler Chabela Romero had a feud with Irma González that played out across eight years and three countries?

@Yoninah: The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

• Great, thanks. Offline sources AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Joseph2302. ALT2a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Age of Subject at Debut and Photograph

Came across this article from the 'Did You Know' segment. She 1st wrestled at age 9 and the photograph depicts her at 10? I mean it's perfectly possible but seems unlikely to this relative layperson. Her 'rival' was born in the '30s, sure she wasn't as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.159.78 (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
