Draft:Daniel Aleman
| Submission declined on 20 March 2022 by Asilvering (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Since his first novel came out in 2021, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to find enough independent coverage of Aleman to meet the biography notability guidelines. The novel looks like it probably meets the guidelines at WP:NBOOK though - you could write an article on the book instead? You could keep almost everything you've already written here. asilvering (talk) 22:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Daniel Aleman (born November 17) is a Mexican author, best known for his debut young adult novel Indivisible (2021), which won the 2022 Tomás Rivera Children's Book Award.[1]
Career[edit]
Aleman started writing short stories at an early age and completed his first full-length novel at eleven years old. He began pursuing publication while studying at McGill University, ultimately obtaining a book deal in January of 2019 for his debut novel Indivisible, which follows the journey of a Mexican American teenager whose undocumented immigrant parents are deported to Mexico.[2]
In an article for Publisher's Weekly,[3] Aleman gave insight into his path to publication, detailing his experience as a first-time author during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the many changes he faced due to changes in the publishing industry at the time when he was working on his debut novel.
He cites authors Jodi Picoult, Angie Thomas, and Suzanne Collins as inspirations.[4] His second novel will be published in 2023 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
