The three boys (opera)
No merit. When this article is deleted, this one needs to be deleted as well: THE THREE BOYS (noredirect). Michael Bednarek 09:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article is interesting and a Mozart opera is clearly a highly notable and verifiable subject; I'd rather see an article about every Mozart character than about every Pokemon character (which, sadly, we have). Normally, I'd suggest a merge into The Magic Flute, but that would create an article that had a perplexing amount of information on the three boys and almost none on any of the principals.  --Hyperbole 16:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep IF the article/claims can be sourced before the AfD period ends. Otherwise, delete. Valrith 19:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mozart work, clearly notable.  This is not a place for clean-up of articles. AmitDeshwar 02:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The article does not describe a work by Mozart; it's a muddled description of a certain theatrical device, which might well deserve an article in its own right (three witches, three ladies, greek chorus), but this isn't it. Adding the relevant facts to the article The Magic Flute wouldn't add much of value to that article.Michael Bednarek 04:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per Hyperbole Curiousbadger 14:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete So the level of articles on Pokemon characters is now the yardstick for Wikipedia? Michael Bednarek 04:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
