Hi Stephen, the article should cite third-party sources about the
contents of the material. If Wikipedians have to look at the material
themselves, that constitutes original research, because it would
involve them relying on their own interpretations of it. If there are
no third-party descriptions, then the material shouldn't be described
in our article about it.
