While I do not believe this article should necessarily be quick failed, I do believe it has an extremely low chance of success. Some points:

It is not required, but the GA introduction does state that "preferably one who creates or contributes to an article...may nominate the article". You have made one edit to this article and that was to add a link. I do not believe you have the sufficient involvement with the topic to adequately respond to and/or address any problems.
Approximately 5800 words of the article, or around 81%, is cited to a single source (Scott Daniell, citations 23 to 72 with no breaks for other sources).
Of the few sources left, many are unreliable and not appropriate for a GA. These include:
- angloboerwar.com
- regiments.org
- longlongtrail.co.uk
- 1rhamps.com
- irishmedals.org
- 16dli.awardspace.com
- dalyhistory.wordpress.com
- wwct_regt.tripod.com
Several other citations are missing required details. These include:
- Page numbers for Hamilton, O'Neill, and Delaforce
- Whatever "Army Order 167/1946" is
- Ref. #14 which is an uncited note
- Ref. #18 which is broken and I don't know what it's even meant to be
Recipients of the Victoria Cross section is unsourced
Scott Daniell dominates this article to the extent that you would think the regiment had only served in the Second World War. The entire First World War section is covered in the same amount of time it takes the article to discuss one month in 1943. Coverage is clearly not balanced.

I hope you'll agree with me that this article is not ready for GAN. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:51, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping, I agree for your statement and yes, now I do not think that the article is ready for GAN. _Signed, Pichemist ^{( Contribs | Talk )} 06:55, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
