All that is (a bit) wrong, the only (let's say the main) thing is that:
once you're name is on WP, the www page belong to WP (as a community),
and you can't delete it. You're allowed (and encouraged) to modify it
and are maybe the best one to do this.

It goes without saying that an article about oneself, written by oneself is
not an authoritative article. Yes, you can be an authority on yourself but
only for yourself. Your commentary will be inherently introspective. You
cant be an authority for others.

I consider writing one¹s own bio on Wikipedia not
only critical to making sure the information is accurate, but it is
actually
empowering for the artist to take control of this platform to communicate
precisely who they are. Too often artists are at the mercy of curators,
editors, and dealers, etc., who think they know the true meaning and
spirit
of an artist¹s work and identity. In Wikipedia, the artist can say
(almost)
exactly what needs to be said and how to say it. Not that Wikipedia
doesn¹t
have rules: it is crucial to cite references, including links to other
relevant Wikipedia articles, etc.
The Wikipedian viewpoint is that editing one's own article is likely to
lead to a conflict of interest or to a non-neutral point of view:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
A solution that I chose, was to
appropriate the biography of another artist, and use it as a structural
framework. But from the point on, I keep up my Wikipedia biography as I
would a carefully tended garden.
If an artist can¹t maintain their own bio on Wikipedia, then the Web is
dead.
Wikipedia strongly recommend against creating or maintaining one's own
article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography
If for no other reason than it can be annoying to deal with
wikilawyering deletionists when some n00b doesn't bother doing the five
seconds of Googling it would take to establish notability for you.
Your article is well written and has strong citations. I've added it to
my watchlist.
