I agree with this sentiment. The majority of the sources are definitely up to par when it comes to presenting enough evidence in favor of the phenomena to warrant an article. That said the article itself feels poorly written and organized.
It also feels as if the author doesn't have enough of a grasp on important parts of this subject. The topic opens with this line: "proponents of cartridges that are 'light and fast' (such as the 9×19mm Parabellum) versus cartridges that are 'slow and heavy' (such as the .45 ACP) often refer to this phenomenon.", which doesn't seem to be the proper frame for the topic. The sources cited in against tend to be testing or reporting on terminal effects of handguns while the more solid sources cited in favor are often testing or reporting on wounds caused by rifles, guns firing dramatically faster bullets.
It seems that the article may be better served by making clear these fundamental differences in projectile speeds when analyzing results to allow the reader to understand, not only why the debate is taking place, but also where this debate is especially contentious.
