I think some amendments need to be made this wiki's policy on page notability, or at least clarifications anyway. The biggest question is should people be allowed to make pages about themselves?

Personally I think there are some ways in which either way would make sense.

If you writing a page on yourself there is an incentive to make a good quality page. In addition you probably have an exact knowledge of your filmography and probably are easily able to link to references about yourself.

Although, on the other hand there will be some inevitable bias when writing about yourself - however I do not think this is actually that big of an issue, if there's bias another wiki contributor will, no doubt, quickly deal with it. The main problem I see with allowing this is that it is likely people will end up writing their own page in a decent manner and then leaving the wiki to never contribute again.

If we do allow people to make their own pages, I think it rather unfair to instantly mark the page with the notability template. Perhaps a contributor should be given at least a week to work on the page before a notability template can added? For this week new pages could have a newpage template that to remind the contributor what they need to do within the week to ensure their page is not later marked with issues or notability.

Overall, I think if a page meets the formatting guidelines, has several decent references and is unbiased it should exist despite whoever creates it. What does everyone else think?

After some discussion I will start a formal vote on this question.
