Deletion?
Hi, can you help me please? A colleague of mine has called me to say that my Wikipedia page is scheduled to be deleted. I must confess, I am in shock and don't know what to do. I thought all sources had been added to make the page acceptable to Wikipedia? I am recognised as the world's number one micro-engraver. Last year, the Institute of Cancer Research contacted me to ask if I would work in collaboration with Simon Armitage, the Poet Laureate to engrave one of his poems on a cancer tablet. This is scheduled to be auctioned to raise funds to build a new cancer unit.

The Writer and broadcaster, Stephen Fry, earlier asked me to engrave one of his antique pens which would be auctioned at Sotheby's for English Pen - the charity that represents and supports imprisoned writers around the world.

I am also known for engraving The Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin.

I have had successful exhibitions around the UK, just like other artists on Wikipedia.

For 30 years I have supplied the Royal Household with their engraved stationery (This is not mentioned on Wikipedia). In fact there is much that isn't shown, but I'm ok with that.

Three years ago I appeared on every news bulletin in the UK and in 58 countries around the world when I engraved a portrait of Jane Austen on four £5 notes, then spent one in England, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland. This was primarily a giveaway project aimed at bringing art directly to the public.

The Blood Bike Association have recently contacted me to help with their cause. I have donated a piece of art valued at £80,000 which will be sold to raise funds. Also, the Cybersmile Foundation in California have asked me to do something similar for hem. The artwork I have donated is valued at £100,000. Cybersmile supports people who have suffered cyber bullying. (These two news items are not shown on Wikipedia.)

I am also a former European swimming champion and British and European record holder.

Last October I played the lead role in the British Film Industry sponsored 'Ned & Me'. This is scheduled to be shown at short film festivals across Europe. The Covid outbreak has delayed the screening.

I really don't know what to add? I have always appreciated having a Wikipedia page. Please advise what needs to be done to keep it live.
