A little advice
Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you have a successful time here. However, I think it only fair to let you know that your draft Draft:Louise Green - Big Fit Girl is very unlikely to be accepted as an article unless it is fundamentally rewritten from scratch. This is because it is full of judgements and expressions of opinion, many of them highly favourable to Louise Green. A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, and a reader must not be able to tell what opinions, if any, the writers of the article hold about the subject of the article. It should consist of objective, verifiable, content, supported by reliable sources, and above all it must not promote its subject, as your draft does. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. Meanwhile, I am giving you some links to Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and information pages which may help you to learn how Wikipedia works. Don't try to read and learn all of them, as there is far too much there, but so look at whatever seems most likely to be helpful to you, and of course you can always come back to them later.

Warning about possible personal connection to topic edited.
Since posting the message above I have noticed that you have uploaded a photograph of Louise Green, which you say is your own work, so you clearly have a connection to her, or perhaps you are Louise Green yourself. In view of that, you should be aware that Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest strongly discourage editing on a subject to which one has such a personal connection. The main reason for that is that in such a situation one is likely to find it difficult or even impossible to stand back from one's writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an uninvolved outsider, with the result that people in that situation very often produce content which reads as promotional even when they sincerely think they are writing objectively. (That is quite apart from the fact that some people come with the intention of using Wikipedia for promotion: that is simply not permitted by Wikipedia policy at all.)
