List of Disney film soundtracks[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Claims to be a list of notable disney soundtracks, but actually appears to just be an indiscriminate list of Disney films without any discretion used as to whether a soundtrack was in fact released, or any further information regarding said soundtracks Rob Sinden (talk) 14:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although the majority of entries are just links to the films without apparent concern for the notability of the soundtrack, several dozen do actually link to articles of the form '[film title] (soundtrack)'. I'm not sure how many of those are notable, but if several of them are then this list could be kept and pared down to just include the notable entries. If on the other hand none of them are notable in their own rights we should delete all those articles, or perhaps redirect them to this list if it's kept.

Keep per WP:NOTCLEANUP. The issues that the nominator listed are all editorial-based; the phenomena of Disney music is certainly a notable one and the article needs to be improved rather than deleted. WossOccurring (talk) 18:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Comment. I'm not doubting the notability of the topic, but as this only a list, and has no other information to offer, is this not best served by a category for now? My point being really that this page is not a list of notable Disney soundtracks, but an indiscriminate list of Disney films. If we remove everything that isn't a link to a soundtrack, all we have left is a list of links to soundtracks, which could be served by a category. Of course the article could be improved, with release dates and information regarding different formats, but until someone does that, should this page be here? The Disney soundtracks stub page actually holds more information. Rob Sinden (talk) 10:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have Category:Disney film soundtracks and Category:Disney animation soundtracks which, when combined, still don't list all the films in the List of Disney film soundtracks article. It appears the reason is because a lot of the film articles on this list have a section detailing the soundtracks, but not a dedicated article about the tracks. Could the category be added to all the films in question, whether or not they have a separate article? Probably, but for now, I still like the idea of having them all listed here, as opposed to the category-only route.—DMCer™ 21:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
