Inclusion standard
What counts as an interview
A substantial first-person conversation, video or transcript from a publisher, broadcaster, production company or named publication. Short quotations repeated across publicity pages are not treated as separate interviews.
What counts as confirmed
An appearance must be listed by the author’s publisher, organiser or venue. Social posts can help locate a listing but do not replace it. Past events move into an archive rather than disappearing.
What is deliberately excluded
Private appearances, inferred travel, paparazzi material, unsourced dates and copied interview transcripts. The index links outward and supplies original summaries.
