• Comment: This is fairly close, but as acknowledged the 3rd source is a reprint of the second source, and we ideally need 3 separately independent sources under WP:42. That third source is fine, but it doesn't contribute to notability. Hopefully the submitting editor can find one additional piece of coverage. A bit more context with NPOV would be good too.
