A page with the title "Wikipedia talk:Alex Amden" would be for discussions relating to editing an page named "Wikipedia:Alex Amden", if there were one. Such a page with the prefix "Wikipedia:" would be a page relating to work for the encyclopaedia, not an article about a person called "Alex Amden". If the page had been suitable as an article, I would have moved it to the correct title for you. However, it was not at all suitable as an article, for a number of reasons, including the fact that I was unable to find any evidence that its subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I have therefore deleted it.

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.
