"From its creation in 1983, it was not promoted by one specific promotion but shared between many Mexican promotions primarily" - From its establishment in 1983, no one promotion promoted the championship but was shared between several Mexican promotions, and not exclusively by
Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL).
"Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately: it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match" - it was not won legittimately but via a scripted ending to a match
"Crusierweight" does not need to begin with a capital letter
"defeating Insolito in the final match." - just the final. will suffice
"In the mid-1990s AAA gained control of the championship when then-champion" - when title holder
The two mentions of Blue Demon, Jr don't need the comma in the name
"took full control of all aspects of the Championship." - took full control of the championship. is simpler and concise
"The title was barely defended since between the early 2000s and when it was officially vacated by AAA on December 8, 2008." - The title was seldom defended since from the early 2000 and it was offically vacated by AAA on December 8, 2008.
History
"allowing the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) host a tournament for the inaugural champion." - the
Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) to host
"Records are unclear on who participated in the tournament," - as to who
"In 1992, then-reigning champion" - the reigning holder
"as he was injured and thus unable to defend the title." - because of an injury that meant he was unable to defend the title.
"only to give it up in November" - relinquish
"as he stopped working as Karis la Momia and instead began working as La Parka Jr." - changed his ring name to La Parka Jr.
"La Parka Jr. would later regain the championship" - changed the word in bold to he to avoid having the last work of the previous sentence like this
Wikilink the first mention of La Parka Jr. in this section
Reigns
La Parka Jr does not need to be linked here
"A total of twelve wrestlers have held the championship throughout its history, with only one person having held it twice, La Parka Jr., who first won the championship" - repetition of the word "championship"
"there were plans to bring it back in February 2013," - revive it
"La Parka Jr.'s second reign set a longevity record, lasting 3,591 days, from 1999 until 2008. The shortest reign belonged to Charro de Jalisco, who held it for 65 days." - These two sentences are missing reliable source(s) to verify if they are correct
Rules
"The lucha libre commissions" - typo; should be commission's
"Cruiserweight" does not need to begin with a capital letter
"a promotion declared the championship vacant, which meant there was no champion at that point in time." - repetition of "champion"
"This was either due to a storyline,[d] or real-life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship," - same issue as above
Title history
The 17th column that has the word "vacated" in the table needs to be referenced to reliable source(s) just like the others
Footnotes
References A and H need to be referenced to reliable source(s) to verify that the information is correct
References
Be consistent in including the trans-title field in the appropriate sources
The work of Reference 5 should be WrestlingData and not CageMatch
Reference 12 is missing the author and the date it was published
Also the same reference has the access date as 2009-06-14 when others state their access date as May 15, 2020 for example
MWright96 - "La Parka Jr.'s second reign set a longevity record, lasting 3,591 days, from 1999 until 2008. The shortest reign belonged to Charro de Jalisco, who held it for 65 days." the tabel below has sourced lengths for every championship reign, the "sort" option quickly idenfies the shortest and the longest reigns - so it's sourced in the table.

... that
La Parka Jr. won the Mexican National Cruiserweight Championship, relinquished the title when he changed his
ring name, then won it again under his new name? "On May 15, 1996, Karis la Momia won the championship from Blue Demon Jr.,[9] only to reliquish it in November as he stopped working as Karis la Momia and changed his ring name to La Parka Jr.[10] He would later regain the championship, making him the only person to hold the championship twice.[11]"
Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get GAs from under-represented areas and categories into DYK. This is nomination 2 in that effort.
without image - Article is new enough, long enough, and policy compliant. QPQ done. However, as of this review, the image does not appear in the article, which is part of the image requirements. AGF on book source (Duncan and Will).
