This article was proposed for deletion by User:HWood2 on 2007-02-06 [1]. I believe that this action was in response to my deletion proposal [2] of an article that seems to be of great importance to HWood2. If the proposal is serious, I invite HWood2 to make a case here, but I would guess this to a case of poor wikiquette. Srice1305:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion this entry meets the notability requirements of a biography; it just needs some formatting, copyediting, and a further statement of why the subject is famous (other than being a Miss Universe contestant, which I believe – I'm not certain – is enough to pass the notability test). I know that Rogelia Cruz was one of the first women involved in the guerrilla in Guatemala, and as well one of the first women to receive a posthumous homage as a left-wing leader, but I have not found a source that states something like that. --ChaChaFut 05:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Rogelia Cruz Martinez and her twin sisters were orphans and lived with their father relatives, family Cruz Franco. She studied in the Instituto Belén of Guatemala and graduated as a techer. Then started her studies of Architecture in the University of San Carlos of Guatemala. She was three months pregnant when she was tortured and killed. She was captured in a "chalet" located in the outskirts of San Lucas Sacatepequez near Guatemala City, in December 1967. The maid that was supposedly taking care of her (due to her pregnancy) denounced her to the militars. Her body cruelly tortured was found in January 1968 near the bridge of Botón Blanco river in Escuintla. Afterwards, her two sisters (twins), that had nothing to do with the guerrilla were also persecuted. The "chalet" was destroyed during the earthquake of February 4, 1976. As of 2008, her sister Lucrecia was still alive, living in Guatemala. As a homage to Rogelia, one of the first women martyrs of the Guatemalan army, in the Architecture Faculty of Universidad de San Carlos of Guatemala, there is a painting of her with letters saying that she will be alive forever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.178.185.16 (talk) 14:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
