 * You should first be advised that successfully writing a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia. It takes much time and practice.  New users are much more successful when they first spend much time editing existing articles in areas that interest them, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content.  New users who dive right in to creating articles without understanding at least some of the process often end up disappointed and with hurt feelings as their work is mercilessly edited and deleted by others.  I don't want to see you have bad feelings.  I would strongly encourage you to spend time editing existing articles first.  Either way, you should use the new user tutorial and read Your First Article to learn more about the process.
 * Please understand that Wikipedia does not have articles about "famous" people, it has articles about notable people. The two terms are often used as synonyms but mean different things, at least on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has articles that summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability; in this case, the definition of a notable person.  There are also more specific definitions for certain fields(actors, politicians, athletes, musicians, etc.)  Significant coverage of the subject does not include routine announcements, press releases, brief mentions(such as the mere giving of an unremarkable "award"), staff interviews, or other primary sources.  The source must be independent and have chosen on their own to give the person significant coverage, and the article must only summarize such sources.
 * Once you feel able to attempt to draft an article, please use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft for review by another editor, before it is formally placed in the encyclopedia. This way, you find out any problems first, instead of after when it will be treated more critically. 331dot (talk) 09:59, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
