The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral. I assume good faith on the non-English and offline references. Both hooks are directly cited. There are two issues though. An English translation of the home page for the 10th reference here reveals that the website belongs to a fan group so I don't think that can count as reliable. A QPQ is needed.
