A route should be verifiable on the ground.
Verifiable via publication (paper, website etc) should not be used as a
reason to add to OSM. Where would you stop? Would you, for instance,
allow someone who writes an internet blog 'Where I walk my dog' &
displays a GPX of the route? As Frederick has pointed out, there are
exceptions but doesn't validate these routes inclusion.
