Only the Wiki article on 'Fahrenheit 451' makes this statement. If you look at the article on 'autoignition temperatures' on Wiki it agrees with the 451F figure - and cites it sources.

The autoignition temperature of paper can vary depending on factors such as the type of paper and its composition. The 451 degrees F value you mentioned may represent a common estimation for some types of paper while Wikipedia's 450 degrees C value could be based on a different study or source. It's important to consider multiple sources and understand the context when researching specific values like autoignition temperatures.
