Confused

Hi my name is Peg Gilchrist.

I am Shaza Leigh's Executive Assistant and have been trying to put together her Wikipedia listing.

Yesterday, I set up the User:Shaza Leigh/sandbox and started to draft all Shaza's information. I have been following Dolly Parton's listing as her career is the closest to Shaza Leigh's. So, I am completely bewildered as to why this has been blocked indefinitely. I wasn't ready yet to even send the information to the Professional Editors and thought the sandbox was a safe space to compile the article.

Can someone please explain the problem here, and what the solution is?

Many thanks Peg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaza Leigh (talk • contribs) 06:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Peg, that sandbox and userpage seemed to be autobiographies and unambiguous advertising which only promoted Shaza Leigh and were not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, and you were blocked for creating them. I don't remember exactly what you wrote, but articles about people in the music industry need to demonstrate notability per en:WP:NMUSIC, or generally per en:WP:BIO. Detailing RIAA-certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards and reach on the Billboard country music charts (if earned) up front like Dolly Parton's article would be very helpful. Please read the message from Bbb23 on en:User talk:Shaza Leigh and follow his advice about enwiki's guide to appealing blocks before using en:Template:Unblock. Another problem is that no one with the power to do anything about your block or the page deletions was notified about your post here; I just happened to notice it by chance among the 186,810 pages which are on my Watchlist (along with their associated talk pages).   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:24, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
