The page can be private until completed. It shall be a typical biography of Will Smith, III who secured his PhD, founded one of the oldest and most successful pet health insurance companies in the United States (Hartville Pet Insurance Group). The account was open, which conforms to his website (www.willsmithphd.com) and his linkedin account.

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Dr Smith, welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves or post their CVs. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'" The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 18:16, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
