Ruhrfisch comments: I do not really understand your stated reasons for listing the article here. I assume that you want this to become a WP:FL and see that it has already had an unsuccessful FLC. With another possible WP:FLC in mind, here are some suggestions for improvement. Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I would look at the coimments made in Featured list candidates/List of living Band of Brothers veterans/archive1 and take them very seriously. The living veteraqns part is a self-deleting list, and the recent deaths part seems arbitrary (what is the criteria for inclusion) and almost certainly incomplete. I think the suggestion made in the previous FLC to just make a list of ALL the members of Easy Company is the only way to go here.
 * As it is, the article on E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) lists many (if not all) of the members and so this could be seen as an unneeded content fork.
 * I would look carefully at Featured list criteria, this has several places that it needs to improve to come close to meeting those criteria too.
 * From WP:WIAFL: Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria. How does the current lead do this?
 * I also worry about 3a (comprehensiveness) and 3b (not a content fork) here
 * This definitely needs a ref: Easy was (and is still) recognized as the best known company of the entire United States Army during World War II.
 * My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref. Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. cite web and other cite templates may be helpful. See WP:CITE and WP:V
 * What makes this http://www.military-art.com/mall/profiles.php?SigID=1278 a WP:RS?
 * Need to explain / spell out abbreviations like the one in the title (506 PIR)
 * Headers do not meet WP:HEAD
 * External links do not all seem to meet WP:EL
