Orphaned references in Whitney Houston songs discography[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Whitney Houston songs discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Whitney Houston songs discography → Whitney Houston singles discography – This list covers Houston's singles and a few other charting songs and appearances. If the idea is that it is her full songs discography then this should be merged with List of songs recorded by Whitney Houston. To name a few, there are Elvis Presley singles discography, Madonna singles discography, Dolly Parton singles discography but I couldn't find any named "Foo songs discography", except for redirects.
