Hi, thanks for message. Before we get to the nitty gritty, please note that the source for File:Model Tiana Saulz.jpg that you have donated to Wikipedia should be just "Own work", rather the current link to an non-existent template. Also note that to link to existing articles, just use double brackets, eg Glendale, California shows as Glendale, California

I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that she 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 her or an affiliated company, 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 she claims or interviewing her. Your article had no independent third-party sources of any kind. The external links can't be used as refs because they are just her social media accounts, which shouldn't be present even as external links. You said All of my sources are from an actual interview&mdash; as indicated above, even if your interview was published (I don't see a link) we aren't interested in what she says about herself, we need proper independent sources. You gave a link to Kim Kardashian's page, but I can't see any facts about Tiana Saulz even there, despite searching the text for her name.
 * Without facts sourced to independent verifiable sources, she can't be accepted as notable enough for a page here. Even if they could be verified, numbers of social media followers are irrelevant to notability as defined above.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. She's referred to by her first name throughout, we have unsupported claims like she connected with many fans and non-neutral terms like one of the most famous faces in the world. It's not dreadful, but it's not encyclopaedic either
 * You refer to her throughout my her first name, you say I am a writer who was blessed with the opportunity to write an article on someone who I admire, and you have direct personal access to take an excellent posed photo and to interview her. It seems likely that you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for her or her management, or otherwise are acting on her behalf in return for compensation, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid, or have been paid, directly or indirectly in connection with this article, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:     . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

This doesn't appear to apply to your text, but for completeness note that that 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. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial, and 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.

There isn't anything worth restoring from your draft, since it had no sources, no evidence of notability and a non-standard infobox. 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, and look at this article on a similar theme Zoella. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:24, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking again at File:Model Tiana Saulz.jpg, I note that the metadata at the end says Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. I assume that is generated by your camera automatically, since I can't see how to edit it, but it contradicts your posting of the image here under the required CC-by-SA-4.0 licence. I'm not a admin on Commons, so I don't know if that is an issue, but just letting you know. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:55, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for further message. Before you even think of recreating you must answer the COI query above. Also, what is most important is that you have proper references as described above. If you can't find independent third-party references, she isn't notable enough and you will be wasting your time Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
