I am nominating this featured article for review because I do not believe that it currently passes the FAC at this time. In particular, it glosses over Dinh's early life as well as his later life, not mentioning his death at all except for the date and a simple citation. In this way it fails criterion 1b (comprehensive). It also has some copyediting issues, IMO: I have taken the liberty of fixing the article's prose, but I still feel like some more could be done in this department; as such, it fails criterion 1a (well-written).
I do not think this article is doomed in its current state, and I think sufficient work can be done in the course of a standard FAR, but some work does need to be done; in particular, I think his early (pre-military) life should be something more than merely "A native of central Vietnam," and " Born into a nominally Buddhist family, Đính had converted to Catholicism in the hope of advancing his career.", and his later life should be somewhat more than a paragraph and should mention his death in the prose. (In some fairness to the death thing, this article was promoted in 2009 before his death, but it should still be updated.) – John M Wolfson ( talk • contribs) 20:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC) reply
Under the III Corps were the 5th and the 25th Divisions.The 5th Division is brought up twice more in the article, and the 25th never again. What exactly were the significance of these two divisions in particular?
