Rip Van Winkle Statue (Irvington, New York)Statue of Rip Van Winkle – Per WP:VAMOS, which 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" are 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. This may be done as either "Statue of Fred Foo (Chicago)" (typically preferred for North America) or "Statue of Fred Foo, Glasgow" (typically preferred elsewhere). If the sculpture has a distinct common name, like the Bronze Horseman, that should be used." --Another Believer (Talk) 16:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • and there are precedents for similar statues retaining their names. The nom says the guideline contains the sentence: "If the sculpture has a distinct common name, like the Bronze Horseman, that should be used." I'd think that the common name for this statue is Rip Van Winkle, and should be kept at that present and obvious name. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:05, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
