Our one source, which is below GNG levels, is an obitary which literally says Beck was "the best kept secret of Houston." Yes, she donated alot and was a figure in developing the art museum in Houston, but not in a way that made her notable, especially if her own obituary describes her as a secret John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but article needs improving. Details of Beck’s life are given here, here, here and here. We may not like it but I think you can donate your way to notability. Vladimir.copic (talk) 13:43, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, of course. There's a building named after her, her house is now a designated landmark, there's a book about her art collection, a major newspaper published a bylined obituary when she died, and the University of Texas chose to archive her papers. pburka (talk) 21:07, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above and WP:BASIC. Biographical information is also available from SFGate, 2003, and there is a nontrivial mention in Texas Monthly, 1997). Beccaynr (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but expand, and add some of the sources now found. I've added one of vladimir's sources, for a start. It certainly appears to convey notability. Was there enough WP:BEFORE? PamD 08:05, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a constant push to create more and more and more durden on nominatiors. Instead of acceptaing that AfD is a discussion, and so we need to stop making the entry harder and harder.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Her collection, donations, and patronage of the Museum makes her notable, even if she did live a very private life.WiLaFa (talk) 16:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
