The article you have created

Wikipedia policy requires articles to be written from a neutral point of view. The article Anietie James Ekiko was certainly not written from a neutral point of view. Not only did it contain specific pieces of unambiguously laudatory text such as "exhibited flashes of greatness" and "His knack for details, his standout skill set as a director and visual storyteller defined his brand in the consciousness of the audience", but the overall tone of the article, from start to finish, gave the impression that it was written to impress the reader with how good Anietie James Ekiko is. In fact, it read more like the sort of thing that would be produced by a PR agent for him than like an encyclopaedia article. Consequently, the article has been deleted.

I also think it only fair to warn you that that it seems to me absolutlely certain that Anietie James Ekiko does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, in which case any article, no matter how it might be written, would be likely to be deleted, so creating one would be likely to be a waste of time and effort. The sources cited in the article did nothing to show notabiliyt as defined in Wikipedia's guidelines, and my searches for information about "Anietie James Ekiko" produced nothing wahtever that was not derived from Wikipedia.

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.
