Why this record matters
The phrase “2009 compilation soundtrack album; various artists” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

The linked authority identifier is Q6911123. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2009.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
