List of notable sopranos

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a long list of singers without any selection criteria and without any defined purpose. Similar pages such as List of famous tenors, List of famous baritones, List of famous basses, are redirects to relevant categories. Perhaps this one should be as well? Kleinzach 16:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately this Afd notice has just been removed from the article. -- Kleinzach 16:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The Afd notice has been removed as it was a personal opinion, and there was no consensus. -- Operalala(talk) 17:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm? You're not supposed to remove AfD tags: we're supposed to have a proper debate here. I would suggest either redoing this list along the lines of the featured List of major opera composers or List of important operas, or redirecting/deleting it altogether: at the moment it's a major neutrality violation with plenty of original research.

 * I agree with Moreschi's assertions. This should be a redirect to the Soprano category, like the other pages on operatic ranges that redirect to categories. --It&#39;s-is-not-a-genitive 18:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed: Redirect to category. There's no reason for this to be a page, when it would work better as a category like the other examples given. Terraxos 21:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This should be a category. Notable people have, or should have, an article, so you can put that article into the category. Categories are self-maintaining and easier to use. Stifle (talk) 19:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to a category is fine as well, assuming it doesn't violate any cross-namespace redirect doctrines. Stifle (talk) 19:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 12:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
