We now have two independent sources, I see - one is 404 and the other looks like a passing mention in a gazetteer. Obviously since you know so much about the subject, you'll find it trivially easy to find some independent analysis of the subject and add it to the article. I look forward to seeing that. Or is it really too much to ask that the English Wikipedia actually provide some usable English sources to back up an article?
Wait, we have a rule saying only English sources are acceptable now? Or do you just mean that an article should never rely on non-English sources alone?
Let's hope we have not become so chauvinistic. For a lot of foreign subjects the only credible and comprehensive information is in the language of that country. Disallowing that would promote systemic bias.
