Welcome!
Hello, Joygf53, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Unfortunately, your first attempt has a few problems. Notability is one, as I've commented on in the Requested move you raised. Another is possible conflict of interest. I must ask, and others will if I don't, why you have chosen this particular topic as your first contribution. Creating a user page for yourself would probably help here.
But you have very much done the right thing in creating the article in your user space first. That's avoided a lot of potential misunderstanding... well done!
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{ helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- Starting an article
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Joygf53/ArtistScope
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Joygf53/ArtistScope, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

- Please work on the article draft within the next week. If you do not, it will be deleted. User space is not a place to store articles which would not be allowed in mainspace - I have ensured that the article draft will not be indexed by Google, Bing, etc. PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 02:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
