Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because charles A Bevilacqua is the namesake for a mountain and the lead engineer for McMurdo station in Antartica.

Please supply WP:reliable sources to back up these claims. As written mow, it does not merit an encyclopaedia entry. noq (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are some RS like [1], [2], [3], [4]. To my opinion, this can be a potential good article if written per WP:EPSTYLE. Chirota (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the article considerably and have added the references. The article Mount_Bevilacqua has mention about his works. Would welcome anyone else to develop the article further. Chirota (talk) 22:23, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In case it's at all of use

A while back for a class, I made a graphic novel of this guy (related to a friend of mine). Love to see that this page went up and was made well. I'm throwing this in here in case any sources happen to help out with anything. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zE8oJiMRSJFj7_rE_5RjnZVZBQuH5Si2/view
