i reread wp selfpub as you requested it says self published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves especially in articles about themselves without the requirement that they be published experts in the field path may be used in an article about path but it may also be used when discussing path also the deleted material was a discussion about the freedom to talk about soce not a generic essay on freedom of speech it is directly related to soce please leave the article as is before creating major changes please review wikipedia editing policy be cautious with major changes discuss it says with large proposed deletions or replacements it may be best to suggest changes in a discussion to prevent edit warring and disillusioning either other editors or yourself if your hard work is rejected by others one person's improvement is another's desecration and nobody likes to see their work destroyed without prior notice if you choose to be very bold take extra care to justify your changes in detail on the article talk page this will make it less likely that editors will end up reverting the article back and forth between their preferred versions if you continue to make large changes to this article without first discussing them i will refer you to edit warring board
