Ultimately this will depend on what you mean by "clear".

Is the requirement to believe in Moshiach "based on clear sources"? Is the requirement to believe in Techias Hameisim "based on clear sources"?

My answer would be that yes, both are indeed based on sources. But no, neither is based on *clear* sources. At least, the sources are nowhere near as clear as those for (for example) Ikkar #5: not to pray to anyone/anything other than Hashem.
