   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• Irishman, Mexican, Bulgarian, Englishman and United States should generally not be linked per MOS:OVERLINK
• "and come together to proudly represent their respective nations" - banded
• "The faction primarily feuded with Roman Reigns and was poorly received by critics." - perhaps it would help to briefly state why critics disliked the group
  • Thanks for taking this on! I've just started these fixes but will be on and off here throughout the day.LM2000 (talk) 17:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

History

• Delink United States per MOS:OVERLINK
• "individual members of The League of Nations also feuded individually with other wrestlers during this period," - try to avoid close repetition of similarly spelled wording such as the one highlighted in bold
• "Both of these rivalries culminated in matches at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, where all of the League members successful in their separate singles matches" - repetition of the word "matches"
• "Sheamus' WWE World Heavyweight Championship run ended the following night on Raw when he lost the championship back to Reigns," - how about changing the word in bold to "title" to avoid repetition of the same word in the same sentence
• "Del Rio and Rusev were defeated by Big E and Woods in another title match, prompting all four members of The League to attack The New Day after the match." - same issue as above
• "Their feud with The Wyatt Family was cut short because Bray Wyatt suffered a legitimate injury." - maybe add the event on which Bray Wyatt sustained his injury
• "Del Rio also confirmed in an interview that the group was finished," - was disbanded,
  • Done. For the record, the source I used for Wyatt's injury did not credit an author.LM2000 (talk) 21:55, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Reception

• "Pro Wrestling Dot Net writer Haydn Gleed criticized how WWE wasted the four men's combined potential" - more formal; squandered
• "In an interview shortly after his departure from the company," - you mean he left WWE?
• "caused Alberto Del Rio's stock to drop" - avoid using idioms per MOS:IDIOM and rewrite it so that it is more formal

References

• References 3 and 23 are missing the authors and publication dates of the respective articles
• Reference 9 have the forename and surname in the wrong order
• The link of Reference 18 directs to another article. Please fix this issue
• Reference 16 is missing the author and the access date
• Reference 24 is missing the author who wrote the article
• International Business Times has been deemed a "generally unreliable source" per WP:RSP. Please replace it where possible with another source that states the information the IBT already verifies

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/respond to the queries raised above. MWright96 (talk) 13:33, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
