Here's a problem: what happens when the contents of an article can only be verified by relying on sources which are illegal to view?
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.
