The one that bites later is the Wikidata item. Notability review deletes items whose statements have no references outside your own domain, and then that https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q... line in your sameAs points at a dead Q-number, which is a worse identity claim than omitting it. I'd get two independent sources cited on the item before it goes in the JSON. Running Viewfy, the citation side is the lagging half of this, entity edits tend to show up in assistant answers weeks after they're live.
