The article currently states that Sultan Sahak "is considered to be the fourth of seven incarnations of God", but I think the term "incarnation of God" is either incorrect or at least imprecise in the context of Yarsan.
Theologies may differ among individual khandans, but as far as I am aware, scholarly publications generally describe the Yarsani concept as one of divine manifestation rather than a literal incarnation of God. In Yarsani terminology, the person through whom the divine is manifested is referred to as zat-mehman ("host of the divine essence"), which appears to express the idea that God reveals Himself through a human being rather than literally becoming that human being. (My source for this claim is The Yaresan: a sociological, historical, and religio-historical study of a Kurdish community by Hamzeh'ee)
This differs from the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, in which God Himself becomes human in the person of Jesus Christ. Because "incarnation" carries a specific theological meaning in English, I wonder whether "divine manifestation" would better reflect Yarsani beliefs.
