Summary
People should be allowed to upload autobiographies without citing references, since it is all about themselves anyway.
Proposal
Motivation
It would be interesting to read about a wide range of different kinds of random people
Key Questions
How do you ensure that the autobiography is by the person who claims it is about them rather than some critic?
What do you do about unsourced negative information about other people being posted in these autobiographies?
How do you keep disambiguation pages from being overloaded with non notable people called say John Smith when you want to look up someone who is notable?
How would you ensure that these autobiographies were written in a neutral way?
Potential Costs
Organizational only.
Plus legal and insurance costs
Plus extra IT and bandwidth
plus staff costs for a few hundred moderators as its unlikely people would volunteer to be admins for such stuff.
