Hello Debankan Mullick, I am going to be reviewing this article. I have time this evening so hopefully, I'll have the review completed today.

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	A lot of the prose is understandable but there are some areas where it doesn't make sense. For example, "On 8 July, the club announced the signing of Hugo Boumous from Mumbai City FC on a record transfer fee which is believed to be $280,000 in a first time ever in India, a 5-year deal." As it stands, it's not clear what is happening for the first time in India. Is it the five-year deal or is it a transfer of c. $280,000? As this is a season which has been completed, the whole article should be written in the past tense.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	The lead section is too short and does not summarise the season as a whole. At a minimum, the lead should explain what competitions the team competed in and how successful (or not) they were. An overview of player statistics could also be included ie- mentioning who the top scorer was and who had the most appearances. For this season, it would also be important to mention who the managers were and when and why the manager changed. It may also be worth mentioning the transfer records mentioned in the Summary section. The text in the squad list is unnecessarily small and contains a lot of unnecessary white space. I would also advise against the use of colour in the table for the squad list. If you do wish to use colour in the table, check MOS:TABLE and MOS:COLOR for more information. This also applies to the tables in the Transfers section. Readers should be able to tell by looking at those tables that they are sortable but the current use of colour makes it look as if they aren't. Unsupported attributions such as "believed to be" should be avoided. See MOS:WEASEL for more information. As it stands, the match results hide most of the information within the collapsible function of the football box. In an article like this, it is pointless to include that information but hide it away (see MOS:COLLAPSE for more information). For club season articles, match results are better displayed in a table.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Some of the transfer fees in the Summary section are unsourced. Match results need to be properly sourced. Using bare URLs is not ideal and exposes the reference to linkrot. For match results, you should use the same reference style that has been used for the prose.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	I'm not fully familiar with all the sources used but they appear reliable with one exception: "News Coming Fromm the ATK Mohun Bagan Camp That They Have No Intension to Participate in Calcutta Football League". Twitter. Retrieved 25 August 2021. This should be reasonably easy to source without using a social media site, even the club's own website would be preferable.
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Checked via Earwig's Copyvio Detector
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	It covers the main aspects but it is lacking a lot of detail. There is only 7626 B of readable prose (approximately 1,335 words). Given the team reached the playoffs and the semi-finals of a continental competition, I would expect this to be higher.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	See above.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	There are no images so this has not been assessed.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Ditto.
	7. Overall assessment.	The article isn't ready to be promoted and needs work. Consider looking at similar articles that have already been promoted to Good Article status. A recent example of this would be 2015–16 York City F.C. season which is around three times the size of this article (I understand that York played more matches in that season than Mohun Bagan did in 2021–22, but it gives you an idea that this article should contain more prose than it currently does).
