How can I create a Wikipedia page for myself?

However, it is not forbidden,just discouraged. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AUTO In Wikipedia all editors are held, by their peers,to standards such as  Verifiability (V), Neutral Point of View (NPOV), and avoiding Original Research (OR). Autobiographical editors are much more stringently judged than general editors. V can be accomplished by sticking to facts that are referenced to authoritative secondary sources, NPOV by providing minimal matter of fact. OR again by only using secondary sources. Then there's the further question of Notability, lack of which is the basis of many deletions. There should be some claim on notability in the opening paragraph, anchored to a referenced fact in the body. Given genuine notability, there are ways to cultivate information outside of Wikipedia such that any editor - including the subject - has the requisite material to construct a decent article. 1) Creating a decent bio on one's own site (which may be sourced as noted in the article linked above); getting oneself interviewed by respectable/responsible media: taking legacy press clippings and other material and posting them on http://archive.org where they can be reliably referenced. Lastly, think twice. Wikipedia has many articles that were originated as vanity pieces by the subjects, who later became dismayed when others edited them in ways that were not to their liking, and were further dismayed to find themselves powerless to remove them!

everyone is right with what they are saying. I think I mentioned this previously on another Quora article, but I tried to create an article on myself and it is full of problems, as I found the hard way. There was loads of potential problems such as COI, original research and the fact you won't be able to write it from a neutral point of view. Not only that you aren't really in a position to decide if you are notable or not. I tried to create an article and used Wikipedia's Articles for Creation as advised. This just didn't work, the feedback was shocking. The standard response I found was "if you are notable you will have a Wikipedia article created about you" is completely correct, but a word was missed in that sentence, - eventually. I found people on Wikipedia who should never of been on there, and were certainly less notable. I had no option but to try a paid editing solution at Wizards of Wiki after finding the article http://wizardsofwiki.com/wikipedia-article-about-yourself.htm that they'd written. They were a great help and advised me exactly what I should and shouldn't have been doing. They said that they would have also written the article from scratch for me, which I'm presuming is what you were after. Don't be disheartened by the rules and regulations, I overcame them with a little help! Good luck for anyone writing an article in the future

Anyone can start an article about themselves (although we ask you not to because of conflict of interest). It'll probably be deleted. Most articles people start about themselves are fairly obviously self-promotional and usually a new page patroller will catch that in the first five or ten minutes of it being published and nominate it for speedy deletion. Some will fall through that net, and there'll be false positives—things that are actually fine articles that should exist which overeager newbies mark for deletion unwittingly. The actual standard that is used is that there are multiple independent reliable sources that cover that person in depth. In certain areas, there is "presumed notability". For instance, if you are a footballer and you play in a professional match, you are presumed notable. If you win an Oscar, you are presumed notable. But mostly the rule is "are there sources that demonstrate that this person is notable?" If there are enough, they get an article. There's one slight exception that which is a rule called 'BLP1E' - biographies of living people notable for one event. This rule is for living people, and basically says that they have to be notable for more than a one-off event. An example of this: every so often, a tabloid newspaper publishes a big article about some teenage maths "whiz" (they like the term "whiz" almost as much as they like "boffin") who has joined MENSA and is going to do amazing things and change the world and then promptly doesn't.

Wikipedia is not a web host, it’s an encyclopaedia. We have articles on a wide variety of subjects. Websites have pages; encyclopaedias have articles. So I’m assuming you really want to know about how to create a Wikipedia article where you are the subject. I’ll avoid commenting on your ego.First, you need to be a notable subject. That means, other people need to have written substantial amounts about you in reliable publications that have no prior association with you. Only when you pass the notability criteria should an article about you be created.Next, you need a Wikipedia account. Anonymous editors can edit most articles but you need to be logged in to create a new one.Then, you type the name of the article you wish to create - presumably your own name - in the search engine and, as long as nobody else has already created an article about you (which, since you are now a notable subject, they may have done), you can create your new article.Wikipedia has a strict policy about conflicts of interest and strongly discourages the subjects of articles or people closely linked to them from editing articles on those subjects. As such, as soon as you’ve created your article you should go to the article’s talk page and declare who you are, and your conflict of interest, and then never edit the article again. Instead you can suggest changes for other editors to make on the talk page.Bottom line: please don’t create a Wikipedia article about yourself. You’re unlikely to be sufficiently notable but even if you are a notable subject, you’re extremely unlikely to be able to create a truly unbiased article about yourself. If you’re not genuinely interested in helping to build an encyclopaedia, as opposed to boosting your own presence on the web, then please leave Wikipedia well alone.

Here's the criteria that Wikipedia editors use to decide whether or not a person is notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)

First of all you need to understand wikipedia's article for inclusion policies which include Notability, Neutrality, Conflict of Interest, VerifiabilityNotability means an article about you should have already been covered on published sources meaning it should have already appeared on sources like these CNN, BBC, Times, Forbes, The Hindu, Tech Crunch, Economic Times, Business Standard or similar the more the better (remember its not a requirement to be covered on CNN, BBC etc its just an example I am giving)Verifiability means when you create an article on wikipedia the notability is verified through reference links from the published sources those published sources webpage should be about you (i.e. it should not have just a small reference about you but completely dedicated about you explaining who are you etc)Neutrality means it should be written in a neutral point of view meaning it should not be written like an advertisement wikipedia is an encyclopedia so everything written about you should have a neutral point of view for example writing that you are the most intelligent person in the world is like an advertisementConflict of Interest means that you should not be the one creating an article about yourself, you can either ask another wikipedia editor to help or you can request wikipedia to create that article or if you are notable enough someone will create that articleNotability is the most important criteria of all so get yourself Notable meaning get published sources like CNN, BBC, Times or other notable newspapers to write about you

First of all, every language edition has its own rules, and I cannot speak for all of them. That said, there is no policy that strictly forbids a person to write an article about himself. However, it is strongly discouraged, because the general assumption is that a person is unable to assess his own merits and that such an article would be self-promotion by its very nature.Personally, I don't care much who wrote an article or made an edit. The only thing that matters is the ultimate result: if a person is able to write a decent (neutral, verifiable etc.) article that could equally easily have been written by another editor, I'm perfectly fine with that. But I'm afraid many other members of the community think differently, and no matter how hard you try, you'll always meet opposition.

It depends. If you aren't famous: no. If you are famous: no.  Basically: no.  If you aren't famous, you don't meet notability, and if you are famous, you aren't a reliable source, since you are biased towards yourself.

Though you cannot create wiki page for your self... but you can have a your own user-page.... the page is similar to wiki page only URL will be something like http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/user:YOURNAME  To create your user-page; login to wiki; click on your name (displaying on left top) and start writing article. You can also have sub-page with URL http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/user:YOURNAME/SUB-PAGE-TITLE
