Wikipedia is not a mere database where anyone that exists can get an article. The absolute best thing that you can do is go on about your life and career as if Wikipedia never existed; if you meet the criteria for an article as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that chose on their own to write about you, an independent editor will eventually choose to write about you. If they do, any article they create will not be "yours" and you will have no special rights to it as the subject.
Please read the autobiography policy, as well as learn about how an article about yourself is not necessarily a good thing. 331dot (talk) 10:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Writing a new article is the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia, even more so when you have a conflict of interest or want to write about yourself; there is a lot to learn in order to be successful at it. If you wanted to construct your own home, you would not be successful if you just started nailing wood together. You would need to learn about construction techniques, doing plumbing and electrical work, landscaping, and so on. The same principle applies here- you should first learn about what goes into an article, what sources are being looked for, how to write them, the style we want, neutral point of view, and more. As I said, I highly advise you to not proceed with this and to go on about your career. Please read the policies I have indicated. While not forbidden, writing about yourself is highly discouraged. Wikipedia is not interested in helping you publicize yourself, or in helping you connect with your fans, or in enhancing search results about you- those things are what social media is for. Again, an article about you is not necessarily good. Any information about you, good or bad, can be in an article about you as long as it appears in an independent reliable source and is not defamatory.
However, if you still wish to proceed despite my advice, please read Your First Article and you may then use the article wizard to create and submit a draft. 331dot (talk) 10:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
