Note: I have stubbed this article to remove the copyvio and am adding inline citations to independent sources. Another advantage of this is that it has removed the unencyclopedic puffery which has plagued this article from the outset. Araiza is a very distinguished opera singer, and the previous puff-piece detracted from his reputation rather than enhancing it. I have also removed the tag noting that this article could be expanded from Francisco Araiza on the Spanish Wikipedia because that article has no inline citations and is sourced to websites which are not independent of the subject. It may also contain copyvio. I suggest using the information in the Spanish article as a starting point for research but do not use it as source of text.
