This list is comprehensive and stable since the title has been retired. It follows the format of all the other wrestling champion FLs (List of WWE Champions, List of WWE Intercontinental Champions...). Every title change is sourced. I don't see any issues with it not matching the criteria. It doesn't have a picture but I don't believe that's 100% necessary for FL. If you think anything needs to be changed, mention it here and I'll do my best to fix it. DrWarpMind 14:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - On the Wikipedia:Featured list criteria page, it states the article does in fact need an image. PS. The Mideon finding the European Championship statement is not sourced. Lex94 Talk Contributions Signatures 23:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Mideon is sourced. I'm not sure how to fix the picture issue since the belt has not been used in several years and free pictures will be hard to find. I'm no expert on the picture policies here but would it be acceptable to use one from WWE.com if no free one could be found? If so, this had the best view of the belt.

- I meant the Mideon sentence in the lead section. And there must be some European Championship related pictures taken by a fan. Lex94 Talk Contributions Signatures 00:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, my mistake on the Mideon thing. It's fixed now. I don't know how we're going to get a fan picture. It seems like most of them are from the past 2 years or so. DrWarpMind 01:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a small comment, usually a list doesn't fail over an issue like a lack of an image, although one would be nice. Perhaps if it comes down to it, you could just use an image of a wrestler who held it for a long time or someone whose reign had some significance, ie. RVD, who was the last champion? -- Scorpion0422 14:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support. Just move "see also" before "references" and you're all set. Maybe drop the special color for the header too?. Circeus 04:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Both things you mentioned go against the way that all the existing FL wrestling champion lists are set up so I'm not sure if I should do them. - DrWarpMind 10:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Then all those are in violation of the Guide to layout. "See also" is considered part of the main article text, and is always supposed to go before the references. Circeus 18:36, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I took a brief look through the "Guide to layout" and it looks like "See also" can be put in either spot: It is okay to change the sequence of these appendices, but the "Notes" and "References" sections should be next to each other. For example, you may put "See also" above "Further reading" or "Notes and references" above "See also". Am I reading this right? Also, I removed the header colors. - DrWarpMind 22:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Some of it is definitely new (there's been some heavy editing of this guideline in the last 2 weeks, for some reason). The point was that people are quite unlikely to check the "see also" when it's burried after a full screen (or several ones) of references *shrugs*but then I guess it's your project's problem to decide whether that is a good thing or not. Circeus 01:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the See Also should be moved up in all the articles. It isn't a big deal and better fits the layout guideline. Nikki311 02:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have moved it up. I didn't really care too much whether is was above or below references, I was just trying to be consistent with the other lists. - DrWarpMind 23:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, this list is exactly like all the other wrestling featured lists. Nikki311 23:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I also Support. Every title change is sourced, there is a good image, and the list is extremely organized. [User:Lex94|Lex94]] Talk Contributions Signatures 10:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
