Boy mezzo-soprano

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is complete nonsense. There is no such thing as a "boy mezzo-soprano". The term mezzo-soprano is used exclusively for adult women. Pre-pubescent boys sharing a similar vocal range are known as trebles. Adult men with a similar range are known as countertenors. This is either a hoax or original research.

 * Delete Probably not intended as a hoax, but certainly OR and innaccurate to boot. Even if it were a proper term, which it's not, there's no evidence that any of the people mentioned in the "article" had that voice range. Voceditenore (talk) 16:18, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I would venture to guess WP:OR on the basis of WP:FAITH. D ARTH P ANDA talk 15:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also, a quick cursory google glance shows that "Boy mezzo-soprano" yields 100 results while "boy treble" gets 1,16 million. It's not even a common misconception. - Mgm|(talk) 22:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:OR, I've gone to my reference books and can find nothing relating the term mezzo-soprano to boys. In my experience there are two types of treble - those who can sing Lloyd-Weber's Pie Jesu and those who just don't have the higher notes required. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 05:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced and very suspicious. --Lockley (talk) 20:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
