If it was an advert it would have a price list. This is simply a page about a guy who has been involved in history for what looks like his entire life. not only is it informative but I found it very interesting. There are all kinds of people in this world and this just goes to show that some people take history very seriously. To delete this would be a great shame. I say leave it up and let the rest of the word of Wikipedia learn something about the passion of one man.

hear hear![edit]
I like what Arthur said, its not an advert cos then there'd be a pricelist. If you look at the criteria and compare it with pages about other 'famous' people, it's no different, in fact it now doesn't even have ref links yet, so if the argument would hold up, people are basically saying all artist pages on here are adverts, but of course they are not. It's called promotion. Be it informative or not; any page in any way about any artist, that also means on here can be seen as promotion. So should all artist pages be removed? I am just trying to understand the difference. In my humble opinion he's a man who deserves a place on here and so does his brother, for whom I wanted to make a page as well, who's a professor who studied the Holy Grail and knows all about legendes and lores. It is not just informative, its educational. Re-enactment and Living History are coming more and more to the front and more people are interested in these subjects. This is proper English History, British legacy, these men are historians.
