Please find below the relevant part of Erik Anonby's response.
For privacy reasons, I've taken out the email address he mentions.
I'm actually happy to consider Erik's evaluation as sufficient
verification and would vote to approve the lrc-wp request.
If the majority of you, however, would prefer further and more
detailed verification, I'll write to Mehdi Moshkriz. Let me know.

from Erik Anonby's reply:
"I
know Bakhtiari and Southern Luri a lot better than Northern Luri
– most of my knowledge of N Luri is lexicon and phonology rather
than whole texts.
But
from looking at several articles, it looks well-enough written
to me. There are some quirky orthographic things (like splitting
the –e “is” / direct object suffix) off of words, but many fewer
issues than a lot of the other homemade scripts I’ve seen used
for Luri.
The
author is also using Khorramabadi dialect, which is the central
dialect but heavily influenced by Persian and not typical of the
language as a whole. He could still use this dialect but with a
bit of accommodation to the language as a whole; for example,
it’s a bit of a shame he doesn’t use Luri verb prefixes like
present/continuous i- (which is used pretty much everywhere
other than in Khorramabad) rather than Khorramabadi mi- (which
is from Persian).
Two
scholars who could verify the content (naturalness, spelling,
etc.) better than me are:
Sekandar
Amanollahi (retired; I don’t have his contact info)
Mehdi
Moshkriz (at Iranshahr University until recently; his email is
[...])
Mehdi
is very nice and could probably put you in touch with many other
Luri scholars, too, to check the articles."

Thanks,
I have written to Erik Anonby (the author of the most recent
linguistic article on Northern Luri: "Update on Luri: How many
languages?" published by the Cambridge Journal of the Royal
Asiatic Society in 2003) asking him whether he is
sufficiently well-versed in Northern Luri to verify the content
on the incubator, or if not, whether he could suggest someone
else.

Hoi,
Sorry, I am fine with having a Northern Luri project. I
would like it to be started in Wikidata asap and I do
want an external expert, I am happy when one is
suggested to us.
Thanks,
Gerard
