Dear Edward,

I am getting in touch on behalf of our client Michael Spink at SPINK Property with regards to this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Spink

Michael Spink is Founder and CEO of SPINK Property, a London-based architectural firm https://www.spinkproperty.co.uk/

We handle the communications for the company and as part of our remit we need to update the existing Michael Spink page on Wikipedia.

On Thursday the 30/8 we edited/updated the existing page with factual additions on Michael himself and his company, and unfortunately our additions and amendments were removed and we received the following message from you. Reverted to revision 834425533 by KolbertBot (talk): Michael Spink is independently notable. If you want to, please start Spink as a separate article. (TW))

We need to update the existing page, rather than create another page for the company SPINK, as it will effectively become confusing to have two pages. Spink is also a disambiguation page, so it would be very confusing for wiki visitors to differentiate. Please could you let us know what the next steps are as we are keen to update the existing page as submitted last week.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Alex Herlihy Account Executive LUCHFORD

Thank you Edwardx for your reply. We understand that we cannot merge the pages so we do wish to edit the current Michael Spink page. On behalf of Michael Spink please see below the proposed edits.

Michael Alastair Spink (born April 1966) is CEO and founder of SPINK, which he established in 1992.^[1] Spink's private residence Fayland House, built by David Chipperfield and SPINK in 2013,^[2] was named best house in the Architectural Review House Awards 2015.^[3][4] He is married to Maria. ^[4]

In addition we want to delete the below on Park Place and Brompton Square – this is information linking to SPINK the company rather than Michael Spink the individual. Therefore we wish to move this information to the new SPINK page.

In 2011 he sold grade II listed Park Place near Henley-on-Thames to Andrey Borodin for £140m, at the time Britain's most expensive home.^[5][6] In 2014, his company bought the disused Brompton Road underground station for redevelopment.^[7]

Please let us know if this suits, look forward to hearing from you.
