Building technician.,No reliable source for notability, and not likely to be.  DGG ( talk ) 11:50, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep A mountain named after him has its own Wikipedia article, Mount Bevilacqua. Being "head builder" of the South Pole construction crew that built the original South Pole buildings was a notable achievement, and the article is sourced to several RS.

 * Redirect to Mount Bevilacqua. At best a case of WP:BIO1E, but not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 19:57, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , coverage is there though online coverage is sparse and hard to find. Belanger in her book Deep Freeze calls him "Charlie Belanger." Siple in his book 90 South calls him "Bev." But his role was important and is acknowledged by writers about the period and by periodicals with "Antarctic" interest such as The Antarctic Sun and the journal of the Antarctic Society. I hope this article will be kept, we have too few articles about blue-collar people who made substantial contributions while the white collar guys "supervising" them got much more glory. Per WP:HEY, note the increasing number of citations on the article, and the US Government photographs. Leading a prodigious building team, (for which he got lots of coverage in accounts by others who were there) is one event, painting the South Pole orange and black, colors it kept for 25 years thereafter is a second event, getting a mountain named after him as a third event that grew out of the previous two events, so I don't think he is BLP1E.

 * Keep Subject was important in the history of Antarctic exploration. Added newspaper source mentioning that he made the altar for the original Chapel in the Snows. --Alan Islas (talk) 14:21, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
