Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. User pages are for you to write about your activities on Wikipedia, and are not for self-promotion. Even if it had been posted as an article, I would have deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that you meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what you claim or interviewing you. Your only reference was your own website, which isn't an independent third-party source. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * There is absolutely nothing in what you published that suggests that you meet the notability guidelines for musicians. This isn't Facebook, you only get an article if you are notable enough by our definition.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: is an international singer and songwriter... His style and sound is influenced and exemplified [sic] by such icons... heavy melodic ornamentation, call and answer vocal harmony (antiphony), repetitive melodic phrasing, a vocal-centric aesthetic and extensive vamping... bold style reflecting the edginess, modern, high-tech and fresh approach to his music &mdash; and so on throughout. It's a vanity page with no verifiable facts right through to the pop sensations [sic] official website You said all information was correct and factual and a mere publication of information, but that's obviously not true. There are no facts with independent sources to verify them, and much of the text is self-praise rather than real information.
 * the article was substantially a copyright violation of his web site. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied site was marked © LuQamusic All Right Reserved. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied site allows free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest and writing about yourself. You are correct in that you say that it's not actually forbidden to write about yourself or someone you know, but self-serving articles like yours are the reason it's strongly discouraged.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations. In any case, there was little factual content in your draft, so it would be better for an independent editor to start from scratch.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.

The fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or should be deleted as well. See other stuff exists.
