The Bodyguard (soundtrack)The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album – The article was moved from The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album to The Bodyguard (soundtrack) without any explanation/edit summary. Also, many sources like Houston's official website, MSN and Sony Music label it as The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album. Novice7 (talk) 13:28, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– Whether sources use the current title, many soundtrack articles use the parenthetical disambiguation instead. Per WP:CONSISTENCY, the titles should be consistent with other titles of soundtrack articles. As for sources, very few or some sources use natural disambiguation for both soundtracks, but they did not reach occasionally-used or often-used level.

The Bodyguard (soundtrack)The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album – The title of this album is "The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album" as indicated by the album cover, the official website, and various reliable sources such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Telegraph, NYT, The Grammys, etc, etc, etc. Normally there wouldn't be a problem with an article being given the same title as both the official and most common one. However, several times over the years the title has been moved to the current one of The Bodyguard (soundtrack) under the rationales of consistency and precision. Consistency is an erroneous rationale, as we frequently use the full name if that is the common usage, see Category:Film_soundtracks. Precision is also erroneous, as we tend not to shorten the titles of books, films, or works of art, if the titles are already quite short and in common usage. "The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album" is an acceptable title, it is not too long or awkward, is in common and widespread usage among most reliable sources, particularly those who deal with this subject matter, and such a title is often used on Wikipedia: 28 Weeks Later: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, The Bourne Supremacy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Home Alone: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Ninety-Nine Nights Original Soundtrack, Orange County: The Soundtrack, True Grit: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More, etc, etc. These are just a sample. Yes, there are also a lot with "(soundtrack)", but the point of consistency is not to change titles that don't need changing in order to match those that did need disambiguating, but that when we do need to disambiguate, we do so in a consistent manner. Where we don't need to change a subject's title, then we don't. SilkTork ✔Tea time 00:42, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
