Contested deletion
I respectfully submit that this page should not be speedily deleted because I am a public artist with significant public artworks to my name, which I will soon add to the page, with proper cite tags, such as my sculpture entitled "Crouching Heron, Hidden Flock", which was commissioned by EY Properties Ltd., and is located at the corner of Tillicum Rd. and Burnside Rd., Victoria, BC; an article about which was published in the 2014 summer edition of The Gorge Tillicum Community Association newsletter: https://www.gorgetillicum.ca/_files/ugd/52d59e_6a050560c1a740839a7bdf8385510e85.pdf

Writing about yourself
You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social media sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet service provider. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted under criterion U5. Wikipedia articles use formal English and are not written in Internet posting style.'"

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:40, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
