The criteria we use go like this:

* if a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, reposts are treated as dupes (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html)

* for a major ongoing topic, deciding whether an article is a new story vs. a dupe of the old story boils down to: does it contain significant new information (a.k.a. SNI: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...)

* the main thing we care about is: can the new submission support a substantively different discussion than the previous ones?

By those criteria I suppose this is borderline, since (I'll take your word for it) the article contains SNI, but (on the other hand) the discussion will very likely be generically about the original stalking story rather than substantively different based on the new post.
