The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
(Notifying GianWiki, Metaknowledge, SemperBlotto, Ultimateria, Jberkel, Imetsia, Sartma): 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.

- I guess you meant mezzoprano, not mezzosoprano (there is no RFV-banner yet). I've found this: [1], [2] [3], [4], [5], [6] 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.[7] I think it is similar to the common misspelling surreptious(ly).[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] --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)
