On VFD he author argues that nothing in our policy forbids a biography of him, even though we've found only two reviews of his books. As well as being what we call "non-encyclopedic", these can't be NPOV since the facts can't be verified.
We don't need a special policy for autobiographies which states that unverifiable biographies are unacceptable, if we already have a policy that all articles must be verifiable. That said, it's justifiable, in meta pages on biography conventions, to ''mention'' that all articles, including biographies, should be verifiable. And it would be a good idea to mention this if there have been problems -- which it seems that there have! But this is not Yet Another Policy ^_^.
