Luther Monument (Washington, D.C.) → Statue of Martin Luther (Washington, D.C.) – WP:VAMOS has been updated and now says: "For portrait sculptures of individuals in public places the forms "Statue of Fred Foo" "Equestrian statue of Fred Foo" or "Bust of Fred Foo" is recommended, unless a form such as "Fred Foo Memorial" or "Monument to Fred Foo" is the WP:COMMONNAME. If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better." Evidence the D.C. work is more commonly known as the "Luther Monument"? --Another Believer(Talk) 05:01, 18 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose-This statue is a cast of a statue in Germany that is called the German equivalent of "Luther Monument." As such the US statue has always been known as Luther Monument beginning in the 19th century. Proof is found on ngram viewer. It is not quite the same as any old statue of Martin Luther; there are plenty of those, but most are not known as "Luther Monument." The statue in Germany was erected the same year the seminary (I think in Wittenberg) was shuttered. It was controversial; the statue may have been sort of like a consolation prize. Sad, I know.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
