...that in 1957 no less than 13 variations of the NWA World Tag Team Championship were in use across the U.S.: in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas/Missouri, Chicago, Ohio/New York, Georgia, Iowa/Nebraska, Indianapolis, Idaho/Utah, West Texas, East Texas, Minneapolis, and Alabama/Tennessee?
Source: the article has a table called "Territory versions of the NWA World Tag Team Championship" where all creation/end years are listed.

Comment: Five of these articles are new (Ohio/New York, Iowa/Nebraska, Indianapolis, Idaho/Utah and Est Texas), the remaining have been expanded at least 5 fold as well as the tables being updated to the Feature List format generally used for professional wrestling championships. Side note the "Interesting" aspect is the sheer number of championships so it would not make sense to nominate them as 14 separate DYKs. It is longer than 200 characters, but the rule for multi hook noms is to count the characters for the non-bolded text and the first bolded link only - by that standard this is below 200 characters. I have tried to do everything I can to make it as easy for someone to review. The sources are in all articles in a special section at the bottom I also linked to where the statment is made, I did not want to put 14 sources next to each other in the text as that would look totally weird.

5x expanded by MPJ-DK (talk). Self-nominated at 04:05, 18 March 2017 (UTC).

Expansion overview

NWA World Tag Team Championship: Before 2867 K - after 25,000 K
San Francisco version: Before 137 K - after 3284 K
Central States version: Before 593 K - after 3346 K
Chicago version: Before 176 K - after 1870 K
Georgia version: Before 88 K - after 2479 K
Texas version: Before 262 K - after 2488 K
Minneapolis version: Before 249 K - after 2650 K
Mid-America version: Before 458 K - after 2954 K
Los Angeles version: Before 163 K - after 2752 K

These fourteen articles are either new or expanded fivefold as enumerated by MPJ-DK. As far as I can see, they are all sufficiently long. There is a rule that to satisfy the DYK length requirements, only unique text qualifies. In these articles there is some copying of text from one article to another but I think sufficient unique text remains. The one most likely to infringe this rule is the Mid-America version because the expansion of that started from 458 characters and the article is currently 2751 characters. I don't think this is worth pursuing further. The articles are neutral and do not cause Earwig any concern. The hook's length is OK. It mentions fourteen champioships but the "Concurrent championships" link is only thirteen in most instances, and twelve in this one. On further consideration, I think the hook should state thirteen variations rather than fourteen. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:20, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

I will take a sock of so I can count high enough and make sure all articles match. If it is a different number I will adjust the Hook accordingly. Thank you Cwmhiraeth MPJ-DK 13:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: my fingers, abacus and calclator all came to 13 as well, I should not have counted the Montreal version when I put the DYK hook together. I took it out of the hook and adjusted the number to 13 in all articles. Thank you for undertaking the massive DYK review task, it is very much appreciated. MPJ-DK 23:57, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Hook and articles are now consistent with 13 variations, and this is ready to go. (I chose to review this nomination because I had a multiple article hook coming up, and to prevent somebody else using it for 14 QPQs.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:46, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
