Thank you for your opinion. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * How can anyone consider a soundtrack list in an article about a musical film "trivial"? I would think it should be mandatory. MovieMadness (talk) 13:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Just giving a list of the songs with no context, prose, etc doesn't really add much. A list of titles really don't mean anything to anyone who hasn't actually seen the film. As it is at the moment, its no different than putting a CD soundtrack listing in a film article, even for a musical. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 13:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree. A musical is nothing without its songs. Every musical theatre article lists the songs in the score. I see no reason why an article about the film adaptation should eliminate them. And to say "A list of titles really don't (sic) mean anything to anyone who hasn't actually seen the film" isn't necessarily an accurate statement. A reader may recognize the title of a song with which he or she is familiar but never knew its source . . . and now he or she will. MovieMadness (talk) 14:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but how would they get here to see it? :P In either case, the list isn't the sole, or even primary reason for the GA failure. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 14:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, MovieMadness is correct -- the soundtrack is the film -- it is basically a plotless musical revue. Take away the soundtrack and you have...well, just opening and closing credits. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not saying it doesn't belong at all. I'm saying its current form seems less useful than it could be. It has no context. While this is a musical film rather than a straight musical, the Musical Theatre MoS might be helpful, in combination with the regular film one, to illustrate ways of incorporating the musical numbers into the prose. --  AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
