Page title?

The statue has been removed from the U.S. Capitol. Is "(U.S. Capitol)" still the best disambiguator? @Ham II: Putting this question on your radar since you've been working on National Statuary Hall Collection statues. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:21, 24 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

What about Statue of Robert E. Lee (Richmond, Virginia), which currently redirects to Robert E. Lee Monument (Richmond, Virginia)? ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:38, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 18 February 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved to Statue of Robert E. Lee (Valentine) in accord with WP:OTHEROPTIONS. Closure requested <permalink>. See below consensus to change this title's qualifier, but no particular agreement about which qualifier would be best. The options were:

From these options it appears that the best choice for now is Statue of Robert E. Lee (Valentine). WP:OTHEROPTIONS guides us: "the closer should pick the best title of the options available, and then be clear that while consensus has rejected the former title (and no request to bring it back should be made lightly), there is no consensus for the title actually chosen. And if anyone objects to the closer's choice, then instead of taking it to move review, they should simply make another move request at any time, which will hopefully lead the article to its final stable title." Thanks and kudos to all editors for your input, and stay healthy editing! P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 23:01, 6 April 2022 (UTC)Reply


Statue of Robert E. Lee (ex–U.S. Capitol)Statue of Robert E. Lee (Virginia Museum of History and Culture) – The current title is vague. It indirectly implies that the statue is located at the "ex–U.S. Capitol" rather than implying it was formerly there. The new title goes straight to the point and the redirects will still be here for those unaware about its current whereabouts.
