Two cents Subtitles should be bolded and included in the first line of the lead but should generally give way to
WP:COMMONNAME in the article title. So I would say that
Dr. Strangelove should be preferred over
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and please don't ever change
Robinson Crusoe to [[The Life and most Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner: who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an uninhabited Island on the coast of America, lying near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates. Written by Himself]].

Well, of course page naming is going to be different from how the title is used in the article proper. It's stated that way in the MoS (
WP:MOSTITLE). If this is added to that page, then it would be redundant to have the disambiguation at the top and in this section.
In fact, Wikipedia already has a really awesome convention for naming articles with subtitles at
WP:Naming conventions (books)#Subtitles. Hm. Maybe it is worth mentioning that.

Support as nom. However, I am unsure of what to name this article if the article is moved.

Comment – As I discussed in the Requested move discussion at
Talk:Don't Eat the Pictures, subtitles aren't limited to books—movies, television specials, songs and video games may also have subtitles. Might be nice to have a consistent subtitle naming convention for all media.

Support this move for now and SlimVirgin's first suggestion. Also in the meantime, perhaps a sentence at the target section "This applies to other media as well." --

Support move. Since (as far as I see) nobody has proposed an actual new title, I suggest
WP:LONGTITLES.

Comment. There actually has been a suggested title:
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Subtitles, recommended by
SlimVirgin. Also, I oppose moving this article to any title that is ALL-CAPS, such as
WP:LONGTITLES; ALL-CAPS titles are supposed to be used for shortcuts.
