Neither of the genres are sourced in the body; remember, hip hop features does not source the album itself as being the genre
See Template:Infobox album to understand that you only list those credited as record producers, not noting execs
"and a deluxe edition of the album was released" → "and a deluxe edition was issued"
The guest appearances read too much like a supermarket list; only mention the most notable ones i.e those on the hit singles and add "among others" at the end
"as the fourth single from the album and" → "as the fourth single and"
"Following the release of Dissimulation," → "Following the release of the album,"
"was released as the album's fifth single" → "was released as its fifth and final single"
"It had previously peaked at" → "The song peaked at" since the previous part is not needed because its a peak, not a debut
"from music critics. Many critics praised" → "from music critics, who often praised" with the pipe
"and commended the album's credibility," → "Some commended the credibility," as a new sentence
The sentence about critics concluding should be removed, as the first quote is only mentioned by two reviewers and the second by one
"Dissimulation debuted at number two" → "The album debuted at number two"
"and it further entered the albums charts of" → "and also charted in"
Mention a few countries that the 16 is including
"Dissimulation was the UK's highest-selling debut album by a British artist" → "It was the highest-selling debut album by a British artist in the United Kingdom"
"The album has been" → "Dissimulation has since been"
"gold by the" → "gold in the UK by the"
Remove the part of the sentence after BPI since exact certified units aren't notable for the lead
Background and recording
Merge with the below section and retitle to Background and conception, as one para sections are discouraged
"in the US and" → "in the [United States] and" per MOS:US, plus shouldn't you mention KSI's quote about them seeing his vision and believing in him?
"that RBC Records and BMG" → "that RBC and BMG"
"reissuing KSI's independent catalogue" → "reissuing the rapper's catalogue"
Mention that KSI's manager Mams Taylor also partnered with the labels and demonstrate part of the quote
"That day, it was" → "The same day as the announcement, it was"
Remove pipe on studio album
Add a citation for KSI's confirmation of recording completion
Are you sure there is not more info to add for background?
Concept
Make this the second para of the above section
"about the album in February 2020, KSI "explained that the album is split" → "about Dissumulation in February 2020, KSI explained that the album is "split"
"He said, "there's KSI and" → "He said that there's "KSI and"
Put parts of the Metro quote into your own words per WP:QUOTEFARM
"Regarding the title of the album, KSI said, "I felt" → "Regarding the title Dissimulation, KSI said he "felt"
[3] should solely be at the end of the para due to being used for the last two quotes
Music and lyrics
Are you sure you can't add any genres with source(s)?
Kitty Empire is actually of The Observer; you can see this in the left column
The term "highlighted" is not correct here since it lacks neutrality; use something like "noted" instead
"and featured British rappers," → "and featured British artists," since this is what the source actually indicates
The first para is too small, so merge it with the second
You should definitely try to add some info about the album's actual music like influences, elements, style, etc.
Make this info start a para below the release info in the proposed above section
Remove singles sub-section since this was a large enough proportion of the promotion to be part of the general section
Nowhere in the source is "Down Like That" said to be a single
The source only mentions Rick Ross performing "Down Like That", though it is correct that the others joined in so add a source for that
Add a source for the video synopsis
"where it has been" → "where the song has been"
The chart positions besides UK are not sourced, plus the song article shows it also charted in Estonia, Latvia and Scotland
"as the album's second single on" → "as the second single from Dissimulation on" but the release date is not sourced, nor is the video
"all dressed in" → "all of whom are dressed in"
Remove obvious wikilink on costume
"in the United Kingdom[19] and it also" → "in the UK,[19] while it also"
The positions past UK are unsourced plus you offered no mention of Scotland or Estonia
Merge the second para with the third one per lack of proper size for either
No single release is sourced for "Poppin'", nor is the video synopsis
"of the United Kingdom" → "of the UK" but these need sourcing, plus mention it also charted in Scotland
Swarmz and Tion Wayne should be introduced as British rappers rather than artists
"as the album's fourth single on" → "as the fourth single from Dissimulation on" but this sentence is unsourced
The video sentence is not sourced either
"in the United Kingdom," → "in the UK"
The certification is not sourced nor is the Irish chart position, plus mention it charting in Estonia and Scotland too and you needn't write out exact positions past UK
Merge the last para with the above one per my earlier comment about size
"was released as a single on" → "was released as the album's fifth single on"
The video synopsis is unsourced
Remove pipe on criminals
"in the United Kingdom and it also reached the singles chart of" → "in the UK and it also charted in" but Ireland is not sourced
Other songs
This can remain as a sub-section since it is not the majority of promotion
The video synopsis is unsourced
Remove obvious wikilink on candle
"in the United Kingdom" → "in the UK"
The singles charts outside of UK are not sourced
Merge the second para with the first one, plus the video's release is not sourced and can you add synopsis info?
In the 11 other countries sentence, add each country's source directly after they are mentioned
"Sweden, and Switzerland." → "Sweden and Switzerland." per British English
Shouldn't the New Zealand chart come before Australia per chart positions and they are the same continent?
Remove or replace Forbes per WP:RSP
Track listing
Shouldn't any songwriters who are also credited by real names in producers afterwards have only their surnames included there?

Copyvio score looks dangerously high at 52.2%; this can be fixed by fixing overquoting
Final comments and verdict
I was about to look through the layout of references, but instead I am going to go ahead and unfortunately ✗ Fail this article already. The reasoning behind this is because it is simply too far from meeting the GA criteria; the prose is sloppy, there is too much original research, unreliable sources are used throughout and overquoting is an issue prevalent enough to bring the copyvio score to more than 10% above the allowed level. If this article is re-nominated at a later point in the time once it has been improved significantly, I may review again. --K. Peake08:11, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
