First, I must tell you that writing about yourself on Wikipedia, though not forbidden, is strongly discouraged, because so many people want to treat Wikipedia as a social-networking site, and because it is hard to maintain the necessary neutral point of view about oneself. Read Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Last year's page was only deleted for having no references, so can be undeleted on request. Since it is your page, I have restored it to Draft:Josefin Johansson, where you can work on it. When it is ready, your WP:Conflict of interest means that you should not post it directly: the "Submit" button will send it for review by an uninvolved user, who will either accept it or give you feedback.

The test for inclusion is called Wikipedia:Notability and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See also WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:Notability (summary).

Read WP:Your first article for advice. Make sure you give references to confirm everything the article says. Look at other articles, and sv:Josefin Johansson, to see how to lay it out. Write in a neutral tone - no opinions, just facts. Don't copy from your own website. The article should not be Josefin telling the world about herself, but the description an outsider might write. There is excellent advice from an experienced user at User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you:

"When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit. If you don't have such sources, don't write."
