Thus, while the deletion of a self authored article about a notable person might be a loss, it isn't much of a loss. Wikipedia won't be done in a day.
You misunderstand my concern - it's not merely that good content will be eliminated, though that is a problem. It's that making vanity- hunting a priority in any way encourages assumptions of bad faith - every article on a person or corporation becomes something we have to try to sniff out the creator of.
Content decisions should not require paranoid checking of the contributors.
