Unfortunately, I'll be failing this review as the article is some way off meeting the GA criteria. There are large portions of unsourced information and I have concerns over the WP:NPOV of the page. Phrases like "East Bengal Ultras has helped to amass all the fan clubs under one roof and raises the decibel level together from the stands" and "This was the perfect opportunity for a non-Indian football fan to get the hype and the passion surrounding the beautiful game in India" which are prevalent throughout sound more like a promotion for the group rather than an encyclopedia page.
Grammar is an issue as well, I would suggest submitting the article for a copyedit by a member of the WP:GOCE. On top of the few issues I included above, there is too much work to be reasonably managed in a single review. Kosack ( talk) 12:52, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

I was hoping this was going through this time, but it's a quick fail again I'm afraid. The standard of writing has improved considerably since my first review in December, but there are still issues to iron out. These would have been workable in a review, however the use of material that is literally word for word the same as sources is a big issue. That's the main reason I'm failing this again, as there are at leaat two significant portions of the article that need rewriting entirely and a few other sentence clashes according to the copyvio detector. I would suggest that you rewrite these sections in your own words (and any others that may fall foul of this) and address the issues I've listed above here. Once these have been done, I would highly recommend you submit this at WP:GOCE or seek a copyedit from a user that can provide a good review of the article. This will help iron out the minor grammar issues that seem to be creeping in. At that point, the article is likely to be ready for another nomination, one which it should be able to pass.

the vocal supporters' group of an Indian football club, SC East Bengal, which competes in the ISL—the top tier football league in India.
In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha swept over India and affected football- What is Satyagraha? It would be interesting to see how this caused the boycott of the CFL. Also, would it be better to say "Indian football was affected in 1930 by Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha"?
In the midst of the disruption, Royal Regiment was declared First Division winners- There's a singular-plural disagreement here. This should either be "was declared First Division winner" or "were declared First Division winners".
A hand holding a flaming torch became the supporters' club's emblem and remains so in 2020- The last part of the sentence is awkwardly phrased. There are two main ideas to this sentence: "A hand holding a flaming torch became the supporters' club's emblem" and "As of 2020, this icon is still the emblem of the supporters' club." Maybe it can be split that way.
denoting the fans were the club's "twelfth man".- I think you can say "denoting that" in this instance. Or saying "...indicating the fans were..."
the East Bengal Ultras displayed a 3D tifo, first ever in South Asia’s,- "South Asia" shouldn't be possessive, i.e. "first ever in South Asia".
prompted a lot of discussion on fan forums- "a lot of discussion" is quite informal, I would just say "much discussion".
The group started with around 10 people- Should this be in the previous section?
To celebrate the club's centenary year in 2019, the Ultras organised an event called Tunes of Colony, which was held on 31 July[9] at the Sovabazar Natmandir temple; it was the first-ever chant-based musical show in Indian and South Asian Football.
The event was a hit with East Bengal fans.- How so?
("Do you understand sir? Do I need to say more?")- Which language is this, by the way?
On 4 December 2019, at a game against Real Kashmir that was the first game of their 2019–20 I-League campaign at the Kalyani Stadium, the East Bengal Ultras presented a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) tifo—the largest in Indian football so far—in the form of a book showing five major achievements in the history of East Bengal; this tifo was featured in a December 2019 article in the United States-based media outlet The18

The incident led to controversy among groups both for and against the NRC.- I get what you mean, but:
As of 2020, there are around 25 chants and slogans.- Usually you'd count in dozens (e.g. "around two dozen") or tens (e.g. "more than twenty"). I'm wondering if the exact number is known.
"Dale Cavese" is one of the most famous tunes that became popular with the East Bengal Ultras.- Is this either one of the most famous tunes among the general public, or among other ultras groups? Or is "famous" being used as a point of comparison to something else?

"Allez Allez Allez" sung by Liverpool F.C. fans, which was itself adapted from "Un giorno all'improvviso" (originally "L'estate sta finendo") sung by the S.S.C. Napoli fans, was adopted into Bengali and became an instant hit among the club's supporters

As there have been three previous nominations, I will take some time to look over the issues raised in the previous reviews, and see if they were resolved, before I put my own feedback. It seems that GA3 raised up some close paraphrasing issues. While that is not as big of a problem at this moment, there are a few sentences that still must be fixed. For instance:
At the opening match of the 2016 CFL Premier Division at the Kalyani Stadium, the East Bengal Ultras displayed South Asia’s first ever 3D tifo, which depicted an East Bengal player holding the CFL Trophy against the backdrop of the Kolkata skyline and the text Kolkata Amader ("Kolkata is ours").
These attracted coverage by foreign sports media such as Copa90, Ultras-tifo, Football Fans Asia, 11 Freunde, Exhale Sports and ultras groups of various football clubs because they created a new atmosphere in Indian football.
Once these issues are fixed, I'll look at this article from the beginning. Epicgenius ( talk) 18:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
@ ArnabSaha: nice work. It seems like both the issues I raised and the issues raised by the previous failed reviews have been resolved. I have a few additional comments:
The group started with around 10 people and by 2019, they had expanded to thousands, including between 100 and 150 core members.- in the phrase "and by 2019, they had expanded to thousands" you can probably replace "and" with "but", or with "though", since this is a contrast.
Although the incident led to controversy between groups both for and against the NRCis a run-on sentence.
I do think this is almost ready for GA, except for these issues. Epicgenius ( talk) 17:18, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
