Comment: Sources also need to actually verify statements. For example, the third source links to the front page of a website that doesn't even mention the subject. Greenman (talk) 09:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The first two references are the same text in different websites suggesting a PR piece rather than independent coverage. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
