Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. You are, of course, welcome to make contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but if your purpose is to write a personal web page, then you would be better advised to use one of the many web sites which do provide that sort of service, such as a social network site or a web hosting service. Also, if you intended the sandbox page you have created to be a draft for an article then you need to know that Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest and autobiographies indicate that you shouldn't be creating an article about yourself.

No this article is about my artist not myself DariusPayneMusic. (talk) 12:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know exactly what you mean by "my artist", but since it is evident that you have written about someone you are personally connected to you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is.
