 Hi. I received your email and thought I would respond on your talk page so that other editors could see the advice I'm giving to you. Here are my thoughts on what you mentioned. 

 I don't see any move to delete the page about you, so I would not panic. There has been some concern expressed that some of the content was written by you (see Wikipedia:Autobiography) or others who have a close connection to you (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest). It's considered very difficult for either of those parties to write objectively about the article's subject (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view) and provide reliable sources for the content they contribute (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources). 

 Something that would benefit you and/or the persons editing your article would be to declare your interest - that is, publicly state that you are, or represent, the subject of the article.  You should make this statement on your respective user pages (yours would be , for example) and the article's talk page (Talk:Michael Z. Gordon). The main advantages to doing this are that you will benefit from the assumption of good faith. Most editors will appreciate your honesty and try to help you. You also lay the basis for requesting help from others to post material for you, or to review material you wish to post yourself. 

 The other (less serious) issue with your article is the style in which sources are cited. Use of the ibid style of footnotes is discouraged in favour of named references for citing the same source multiple times. Given enough care and attention, this is an easily resolved matter. 

 Hopefully I have adequately explained the issues and have given you some reassurance that the article about you is not in jeopardy. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please reply on . Thanks and good luck!
