The result was   merge and redirect to Biographical film (to which Biopic redirects). I have merged only (a few words about) the first meaning - autobiographical movie. The second meaning (a photograph taken of oneself) is not mentioned in any of the sources and fails WP:NEO. JohnCD (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

WP:MADEUP, WP:NEOLOGISM, at best one sentence that belongs in the Biopic article. Ridernyc (talk) 03:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Tentative delete . I wouldn't call this madeup, since gsearches definitely turn up decent usage of the term. However, I couldn't find anything to make this anything more than a dictionary definition.  Jujutacular  T · C 06:54, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I could support a merge, per MQS.  Jujutacular  T · C 22:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge sentence to Biopic where subject has context and set redirect. Usage by Washington Post and others show term is not WP:MADEUP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:45, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete--there is no verifiable source for either of the claims in this barely-an-article article. Thus, I don't think it is worth the trouble to Merge as it is unclear that the term is even used/defined in durably-archived media.  But if someone wants to chase down sources for the claims..., then maybe merge it.  N2e (talk) 00:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's definitely used in archived media: The Washington Post, The Philidelphia Inquirer, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have all used the term. Granted these are all trivial mentions, so there's nothing there to make a whole article out of, but how much trouble is it to redirect this to biopic?  Jujutacular  T · C 15:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Finding a place for inclusion in context of these two sentences at Biopic should not be too difficult a task, and the suggested redirect will send readers to where the topic has useage in context to the larger article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:18, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
