[edit] Comment on Prod proposal
Moved here from autobiography, where it was even more out of place, and listed in a NNPOV way as 'notable autobiographies'. I have no feelings either way on keeping it.--Smerus (talk) 18:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- The existence of Wikipedia articles on the authors' careers implies the notability of most of the autobiographies. It is easy to imagine a more ideal system of criteria and citations, but the autobiography article (considering this as an extension of it) is impoverished if it does not mention some of the most notable examples, which will not be mentioned if this list is expunged wholesale. It would be better to challenge, or simply to remove, items whose notability can reasonably be doubted. The easier solution comes at a cost here. Wareh (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Prep for deletion
I've been doing some prep leading up to potential deletion, but it needs more work. First, need to ensure that if an autobiography listed and exists as an article (some list items lack links but have articles), it is properly categorized. Second, should categorize the autobiographers themselves if they have not been. This takes some time. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 17:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
