Giuseppe Gabriele Canetto

No indications of notability. The only results one finds when searching for this name online is that it is the name of a choral group in Madrid. The original Spanish version of this page ended with the phrase "Canetto -- myth or truth? Who knows?" I'm going to have to vote "myth". WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete, likely hoax, vandalism, and attack page. Were this fellow a genuine historical figure, I would not expect Google Scholar and Books to draw a blank.  All that I was able to find, like yourself, were references to a chamber choir out of Madrid, apparently an all male vocal group.  None of the websites explained the name.  This would appear at minimum to be a hoax; and possibly some kind of stealth attack page, given that it seeks to apparently associate a men's choir in Spain with a fictional castrato.  The fact that this appeared in Spanish rather than, say, Italian, where the fellow is supposed to have been active, furthermore suggests that this is an elaborate leg pull. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:10, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Assuming good faith, I suspect less of a hoax and more of an attempt by a member or fan of said choral group to try to explain the significance of the group's name. Nevertheless, without any valid sources, it should be deleted.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:19, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. That might be as well.  There's a nice version of Beati mortui on that website to download, at any rate. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 03:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Even without the middle name, the 2 Gbooks hits seem to be someone else. Unverifiable at best. Edward321 (talk) 13:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
