Welcome, and comments about draft
Hello, and welcome to contributing to Wikipedia. You have clearly put quite a bit of work into preparing the page you have written about "Climb". I have moved it to Draft:Climb, because that is the right title for a draft article. A Wikipedia user page is for someone who is active in working for the project to give a little information about themself in connection with their work for the encyclopaedia: it is not a place to post any other kind of material. I suggest that you work on the draft, and then submit it for a review by an experienced editor to decide whether it's suitable to become a Wikipedia article. See Articles for creation for information about how that works.

Here are a couple of pieces of advice about the draft. Firstly, it needs more citations to references. At present most of it is not referred to any source, and while I have no reason to doubt that what you have written is true, unfortunately we do get many people who come here and post material which is wrong, whether deliberately or in error, and so Wikipedia policy is to require citations to reliable sources, rather than accepting material just because someone who has created a Wikipedia account says so. Secondly, the article at present consists almost entirely of a fairly long and detailed account of the plot. It is generally agreed that an article about a book or other work of fiction can include a fairly brief plot summary, but no more than that. I am sure that won't be welcome news for you, as you have obviously put quite a lot of work into writing it, but I think it better to warn you now, rather than leave you to discover later that either the draft gets rejected or it gets accepted and then someone edits out most of it.

Creating a new article is, unfortunately, a task which new editors often find difficult, because they find the article (or draft for an article) repeatedly being rejected because it doesn't comply with standards that they didn't know about. 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. I hope that doesn't put you off contributing to Wikipedia, as I'm sure from reading your draft that you will be able to make very good contributions, but you may like to consider leaving the draft for now, and coming back to it later.

 * Thank you so much for the honest and supportive reply. I am going to follow your instructions and do some editing before I do entire articles. Thank you so much! Wackywizard01 (talk) 05:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
