It doesn't need to be promptly verifiable by everyone. A TV show that
can't be seen legally is not verifiable by anyone.
How does that follow? And the goalposts are moving -- just because there
aren't commercially available copies doesn't make watching a copy of a show
illegal, much as the recording industry would like it to be so.
See Betamax v.

.
We shouldn't be
relying on illegal copies and fansite summaries for
our sources.
Again, what "illegal copies"?
I wish I could think of a way to make it work - I'm very active in
WikiProject Stargate and we use episodes as sources
all the time - but
a source no-one can access is not verifiable.
Obviously someone is accessing the sources. You have a strange definition of
"no-one".
