 * Keep and improve the subject is valid and has received substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * - I did do a fairly quick search and found no non-commercial sources. If you can point me at some of the sources you've found, I'll try to rescue the article; otherwise, I'm still for deletion. Cheers,  Tony Holkham   (Talk)  19:38, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Because of a lot of 19th century results for the poetic phrase "vocal spray", and just who is the Goddess of the vocal spray? (which maybe should be disambiguated from the present subject) searching "vocal sprays" seems to work on Google Books turned up some sources discussing sprays and their use. Googlr News spurces also has some discussion of their use. FloridaArmy (talk) 20:06, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Another option is to note vocal sprays in a broader article on throat spray. Some types of throad spray have articles but not the broader topic. Brands get marketed.. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:03, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nomination. "Vocal spray" is over-the-counter throat spray that gullible singers buy in a music shop at twice the price. :-) The poetic use of "spray" means a stem with leaves or flowers on it, and not useful for this article. But User:FloridaArmy's idea of an article on throat spray is a good one: the term is already used in several articles, such as Cetylpyridinium chloride, Methylsulfonylmethane,Chloraseptic, Benzocaine, etc. Happy to help with that. But there's nothing worth saving here. The Mighty Glen (talk) 13:39, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Improve or delete. In the article throat, a general term, rather like "head", there is little physiology or medical information other than links to the parts of the throat. If there were an article called throat spray, presumably it would have to reference the parts involved principally in singing or speaking. The article singing contains nothing clinical, except in external links. My view is that any useful bits of vocal spray (perhaps renamed throat spray) should be part of (or at least link to) something like Larynx. Perhaps the best thing is to rename this article to throat spray, remove any unsourced or commercial content, and see what's left, and whether it could be developed from there. I have my doubts, though.  Tony Holkham   (Talk)  19:00, 18 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete non-notable, mostly seems to exist to promote the manufacturers mentioned in the stub (which I am going to go remove now per WP:LINKSPAM). If it needs to exist at all, it should be a subsection of the a throat spray article.   13:35, 21 May 2018 (UTC); edited    13:40, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete A1 - unsourced article that says "Vocal spray is what some singers use to aid in producing sounds with vocal cords." So vocal spray is the same as honey, vibration, muscle contractions, singing lessons, mouth exercises, vocal warmups, etc.? &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 02:01, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
