There is no doubt whatsoever that my self-published work is notable; consider what I just stated, that Living with Schizoaffective Disorder is on a reading list that the State of California Mental Health Department distributes to its county clinics. Despite that, the simple fact that I choose to self-publish - or rather, refuse to permit dead-tree publication - is regarded as making me non-notable. There are lots of wikipedia articles about dead-tree writers whose work is arguably far less notable than my own.
