Comment:
1. Half of your sources are WP:PRIMARY. Now, granted; under point 3 of that policy, you are permitted to utilize primary sources for basic facts. Which is what you appear to have done with the primary sources, here. However, we need to see additional secondary sources, IMO.
2. Lastly, I'm very hesitant to approve stubs/stub-like articles. If the topic is notable, surely there is more to write about.
