- Leaning keep. I believe I found her biography (autobiography?) on
Blogspot. While obviously not a reliable source, it's a good place to start from. There are quite a few intriguing Goole Books hits for Becerril going back to the 60s and 70s, but I can only see fragments of each one. For example, there seems to be an entire chapter about her in
The Complete Works of Carmen de la Fuente, and
Adult Education in Finland reports that her work is held at the
Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki (where she apparently studied). I'm suspicious that there might be two artists with the same name, as it's a bit surprising that an artist of her age and experience would be entering the Pan American Health Organization drawing and painting contest in 2009.

- Pburka, I think the winner of the Concurso de Pintura y Dibujo is the same artist that was born in 1938, not some younger person. See https://www3.paho.org/hq/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5214:2009-drawing-painting-contest&Itemid=2468&lang=es It's very similar to the other work.

- Delete I saw the blogs and the paintings. I could not find any evidence online that she would meet NARTIST or even GNG. The bottom line here is that very little about her is verifiable, which is also demonstrated by the uncertainty of the above Helsinki and Carmen de la Fuente sources. There's a hint of something, but little that is verifiable. --- Possibly ☎ 20:37, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - no credible evidence of genuine notability; obscure museum and blogs for sources; fails our standards. -- Orange Mike | Talk 21:38, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
