Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan McCray
The problem is that in the case of autobiographies of marginally notable people, such regular editing rarely goes on to take place.  Typically no one besides the creator has any interest in the topic: so, having survived AfD, the article languishes unedited, the spam survives intact and yet another self-promoter gets to use Wikipedia as their vanity press.  The solution is to #G11|shoot autobiographies on sight, and the rationale is simple: autobiographies are inherently promotional because, irrespective of their content, their purpose is to enhance the public profile of the subject.  As such, they ought to be speedied #G11|G11 before they are allowed to grow legs.  If some uninvolved third party then wishes to recreate the article from scratch, more power to them.  At least that would demonstrate that one other person besides the subject actually thinks the person merits a Wikipedia article -- which, as tests of noteworthiness go, is a pretty low bar
