An editor boldly added material. I reverted. At this point, WP:BRD would say it is time to discuss the issue. The other editor, however, seems to feel that adding additional sources (without addressing the issue mentioned in the edit summary) is a good substitute. It's not.
I removed the interview in question as there is no suggestion that the interview is in any way an "interview disc". Yes, it is a recording of an interview. Every episode of Meet the Press is a recording of an interview. Also recordings of interviews: the evening news, various radio shows, my brother-in-law's recordings of parent/teacher conferences, many documentaries, etc. Are all of these "interview discs"? Further, are we then able to comment on whether or not they are "good" examples of "lesser quality" recordings?
Yes, the interview took place, it was recorded and the recording was made available on Der Spiegel's website. Whether you add one source, three sources or 3,000 sources, that much is true. This article, however, is not " Interviews that were recorded". This article is about interview discs, "a recorded disc with spoken word recordings...The term Interview disc started referring to vinyl discs of such recordings but the term can also be used to refer to CDs of the same nature."
Someone interviews Morrissey and sells a CD of the interview. That CD is an interview disc.
Someone interviews Morrissey and releases the interview on a website to prove what he said. That is an interview disc. Adding information about this interview and the dispute between Morrissey and Der Spiegel does not tell readers anything about "interview discs", the subject of this article. At
Morrissey or
Der Spiegel this material would be on-topic (it is about them). Whether or not it is
undue weight is another question. Here it is off-topic (it is not about interview discs). - SummerPhD
