– Per WP:NATURALDIS. The move discussion at Talk:Benjamin Harrison (bust) remains open, but there seems to be a general preference for the "Statue of XXX" format over the "subject (medium)" format. I should also note, there's an ongoing discussion here about the naming conventions for public statues. While some details are still being ironed out, I'm confident disambiguating by "Statue of X...", "Bust of X...", etc, will emerge as a preferred title over using a subject name then disambiguating by medium or location unless there's good reason. To the best of my knowledge, none of the nominated articles are about sculptures with multiple copies, so no need to worry about "Statue of X..." vs. "Statues of X...", which is still being discussed. --Another Believer (Talk) 01:02, 3 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 19:06, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

They all have pictures! I should've just looked. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 00:32, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
  • That's why the descriptor 'sculpture' is in the title, to make sure that people know that Guy Lafleur is not his statue (unless Medusa herself, a rabid Toronto fan, turned Lafleur into metal mid-game). But it is the real name of the statue, which should be important for an encyclopedia. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Yeah, it can be looked at that way. I guess that means my support is weak, due to the status quo not being unacceptable. I like the proposed. Your "Guy Lafleur statue" is ok too. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:52, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
