Unfortunately, this article meets the quick fail criteria as needing a major overhaul to meet the WP:Good article criteria. Here are the major issues you need to fix before renominating:

Unreliable sources: The article heavily cites wordpress blog from an amateur historian. This fails WP:RS and WP:SPS. Other unreliable sources include findagrave.com. Overall the article relies heavily on nineteenth-century sources where it's not clear if they have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy as required by WP:RS.
Excessive quotation: the article uses very long quotations especially in the "Return to West Point and command of 2nd New York Cavalry". This is incompatible with correct encyclopedic style (MOS:QUOTE)

These are the main issues, if you fix them then you can renominate at WP:GAN. (t · c) buidhe 04:15, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time, Buidhe. No, these are not issues I care to address, so it can stay as it is. Radar488 (talk) 05:37, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
