483:. This is an in-depth explainer with plenty of good reasoning that I think would be either (1) a lot longer than a lot of the FAQ answers on the suggested page and dominate it, or (2) would be required to be trimmed down to fit the size of that and a lot of the valuable info would be lost. Knowledge has plenty of explanatory project pages explaining community conesus and guidelines and offering advice. We don't need to trim them down for the sake of slimming the project. E-ink is free. If you want this advice proffered there, an except can be included with reference to the page, possibly with

is about subjects who already have an article, which is different to most situations where this guideline applies when people are trying to create a new article. It's not uncommon for us to have a formal guideline or policy and then another page which explains it - following your reasoning would mean
250:
It's a bit of a hollow, unverifiable claim to make, and I think it should be worded another way. However, to be bluntโthe point of the advice is to dissuade people from making autobiographies, because most autobiographies are bad. Any rewording has to somehow maintain the firm tone and intent, or
384:
You are incorrect; the FAQ page is also about people who want or think there should be an article about them (e.g. Q11: "Can I start an article about myself or my company?"). We can easily say the FAQ page is a guideline. I make no proposals to merge policies into FAQs.
325:
My reasons for doing so are several: the content is duplicative; it is often not clear which page should be recommended to enquirers at help desks; it is confusing for people searching for such pages to find so many variants; and it will reduce the maintenance overhead.
329:
Rather than merging in the other direction, I would keep the "FAQ/Article subjects" title, as it is part of a series; it also applies to people wanting to write about their company or organisation.
235:. Er, no; there are more notable living people without articles than with them. I would certainly not give this advice to, say, an Algerian pop singer who peaked in popularity in the 90s.
