: Hi, [[User:RealShawnShade|RealShawnShade]]; welcome to Wikipedia! While we welcome contributors to write new articles, I would strongly advise you against writing an article about yourself, as this would be a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]]. This would make it substantially more difficult to remain compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, such as ensuring that a topic is [[WP:notable|notable]] and writing with a [[WP:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. If you are still sure that you want to write about yourself, please read the entirety of the conflict of interest guidelines that I linked. {{pb}} As for what you've written, you did create the page at your user page, [[User:RealShawnShade]], so I've moved it to [[Draft:Shawn Shade]] for you. I would like to warn you that the page is currently not neutrally written; in fact, I would consider it to be exclusively promotional in nature. As such, it could be deleted at any time under Wikipedia's speedy deletion criterion [[WP:G11|G11]]. I would recommend that you either edit the page so that it's written in an encyclopedic, non-promotional tone, or request for it to be deleted by adding the wikitext (code) {{tlx|db-g11}} to the top of the page. {{pb}} Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Question from RealShawnShade (11:43, 14 May 2024)

I created this account to create a Wikipedia page for myself. I'm a musician and was trying to create the page. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I wrote out the article, but I think it posted to my personal profile instead of an article. --RealShawnShade (talk) 11:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure you're in the right place. This is User:Tol's talk page, so unless you're specifically asking a question to them, somewhere like the Teahouse is probably better.
Anyway, it's probably for the best that you posted it to your userpage rather than an article – you shouldn't write an article about yourself. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
