Currently, the article meets the quick fail criteria. It has at least seven cleanup tags that have not been resolved. In addition, significant parts of the article are not cited to reliable sources, failing the verifiability criterion. Use of questionable and unreliable sources is rampant, such as imdb, this blog, 404 page on a stamp website, no indication of reliability, etc.

In addition, I would urge you to make sure the lede adequately summarizes the article content (i.e. it needs to be beefed up a bit). The Remembrance section descends into (uncited) trivia in places and needs to be seriously cut to meet encyclopedic standards.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far. Fiamh ^{(talk, contribs)} 00:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fiamh: I took a whack at fixing what you noted. I'm at a loss for how to deal with the Remembrance section. --evrik ^(talk) 05:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Evrik, The idea is not to have a list of every plaque that has been put up in memory of the Four Chaplains. Keep the list to significant memorials that have received coverage in reliable secondary sources. Fiamh ^{(talk, contribs)} 05:45, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Fiamh: I hate losing the content. I could strip all of that items out and make a list in a separate article ... --evrik ^(talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Evrik, it wouldn't be appropriate even in a list; see Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria. Fiamh ^{(talk, contribs)} 21:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
