I removed a source that from Star Ledger website, NJ.com, because it appears to be a press release from njadvancemedia.com [1], a PR firm, i.e., paid content. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 14:44, 18 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The brazilianvoice.com ref appears to be based on the same PR piece, and might also be replaced.

I agree independent sources would be better, but if nothing turns up and the PR piece has to be used, it should use {{ cite press release}} to identify its origin and interest. Matt Fitzpatrick ( talk) 22:53, 22 February 2016 (UTC) reply
