Please help me with...

I am wanting to know the difference between creating the userpage and an actual article? I have added to my userpage which I thought would pop up on search in wiki when people searched but I see that is not true. Can you please explain or lead me to where I can learn the difference. Thank youHollywodDJ (talk) 00:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC) HollywodDJ (talk) 00:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

: User pages are not generally indexed by search engines. A user page is a place where you can say a few things about yourself and your Wikipedia editing activities but it is definitely not to be used as an advertisement for yourself, as your current user page appears to be. Please see user page for more about the policies that apply to user pages.

: As for writing a Wikipedia article about yourself, that's strongly discouraged. Please see AUTOBIOGRAPHY. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:28, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I am new to this site and want to follow the rules. I have deleted the information put into the userpage to try and start over in a proper, rule-abiding manner. Please give me a second chance. Also, I am not writing about myself as I am creating for someone else. Thank you for your consideration.HollywodDJ (talk) 01:46, 9 July 2020 (UTC)) --HollywodDJ (talk) 01:46, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

: So you, the Wikipedia editor using the username HollywoodDJ, are not the person using the name HollywoodDJ as a stage name? In that case, you're most likely violating the username policy with respect to impersonation. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing, abandoning this one. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:29, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

:: I should add that it's a fairly common newbie mistake to sign up with a username that is actually the name of the article they were thinking of creating. We see it often but the correction is really simple: just create a new account with a name of your own and use that instead of the mistaken one you made when you first signed up. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:33, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
