Talk:mezzoprano

RFV discussion: July 2021–May 2023
Another User:SemperBlotto creation. Not in any dictionaries nor in context.reverso.net, which has examples of real-world usage. There are a few hits on the Internet but they all look like one-off typos. Benwing2 (talk) 07:33, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess you meant mezzoprano, not mezzosoprano (there is no RFV-banner yet). I've found this:, , , ,  which should be enough valid cites. mezzosoprano has even more cites and is included in some of these. Thadh (talk) 14:20, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * These sources do not use the term consistently, but in a sprinkling between many more occurrences of mezzosoprano. It seems to me that this mainly establishes that mezzoprano is a relatively frequent misspelling of mezzosoprano. I do not find the term in this spelling in Italian dictionaries, such as Treccani. I think it is similar to the common misspelling . --Lambiam 11:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I mean, even if it is a misspelling, we ought to keep it under misspelling of. But I'm not convinced just yet, I find it strange concerts' programmes would have such a misspelling. Thadh (talk) 12:50, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's just a really bad typo. It's not even worthy of a misspelling of as, say, conoscienza (for conoscenza) would be. Sartma (talk) 15:44, 29 July 2021 (UTC)


 * RFV failed. I will call it a misspelling.  If it should be deleted, beg an admin to delete it instead.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
