 * Keep or merge.. I'm currently neutral about whether this album (which is the album of the Oscar-nominated Alan Silvestri score, rather than the song soundtrack) needs to have its own article.  If not, the appropriate remedy would not be deletion, but rather merger back to Forrest Gump.  Wikipedia's coverage of this famous film should certainly include information about the music.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep and discuss merge, per Arxiloxos . The possibility of a merge here is so obvious that this should not have been nominated.  DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep/Merge per above. We're getting far too many articles at AfD that should be going through merge discussions, and this is an obvious one. --Michig (talk) 07:00, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge I'm not seeing sources for independent notability, although there are likely to be reviews in print magazines. The only online review I can find is very short. I agree that a merge proposal would have been more appropriate. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Question: A merge makes sense, but on the other hand, might this meet Notability (music) or its predecessor (and now historical) Notability (albums)? I find it intriguing toward possibilities that Allmusic wrote it being "a miscellaneous collection.... didn't keep it from shooting into the Top Ten as the movie became a blockbuster" might indicate that as an album, even if popular due to the film itself, it might be determinable as notable as a list article?
