Hello
Hi Ripptor, and Welcome! I'm fairly new here myself, but I thought I'd give you some pointers and links you might find helpful.

Focus on making sure your articles measure up to the criteria for articles, rather than whether the page has been deleted before. If the page has been deleted before, it was for one of these reasons


 * Criteria for Deletion
 * Criteria for speedy deletion

The one this you always want to check before making a new page is to see if it satisifys WP:Notability and WP:NPOV (The first deems an article irrelevant, the second deems it advertising or "soapbox"

And these are basic editing guides
 * User pages
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Wikipedia in brief
 * How to edit a page (or, the quick cheatsheet version)
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * Glossary
 * What Wikipedia is not
 * Assume good faith
 * Wikiquette
 * Sandbox (this page is for testing)
 * Your first article

Hope this helps, and remember we all assume good faith, so keep trying and Be BOLD!!!
