A quote from WP:AUTO

It is said that Zaphod Beeblebrox's birth was marked by earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, firestorms, the explosion of three neighbouring stars, and, shortly afterwards, by the issuing of over six and three quarter million writs for damages from all of the major landowners in his Galactic sector. However, the only person by whom this is said is Beeblebrox himself, and there are several possible theories to explain this.

According to the history, the user 63.13.130.33 who created this article was also once a student of Sydney Boys Grammar, is an Australian Jew and knows a mysterious amount about obscure Astronomy. The user also edited the page from an IP in the western hemisphere...

Spelling it out: It looks like he wrote his own biography article, a practice 'strongly discouraged' under WP:AUTO.

• In the future, please complete the nomination process properly. I did it for you this time. And please avoid using silly quotes to make your point. It's hard to take you seriously otherwise. By the way, the possibility of a subject editting their own article isn't an automatic reason to nominate for deletion. Especially when they are inherently notable. --Etacar11 11:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry, I just realized that anons can't create new pages, so there was no way for you to complete the nomination. And the above quote IS from WP:Auto, but I still think it's silly! ;) BUT I still think the nomination itself was not warranted. --Etacar11 13:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
