Talk:List of statues

message: Even though Puerto Ricans may not consider themselves to be in the U.S., they are de facto, as they have U.S. citizenship. However, should Puerto Rico become fully independent, then the list shall be split. WhisperToMe 19:21, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: that this list should only include statues that have articles about them in wikipedia.  To try and list every statue in the world is  . . . . pointless [opinion], where as  having a list that will take the searcher to articles about these statues seems very worthwhile.

replies: text: So, a few years later, I am going to go through the list and remove all the red links to nowhere.  Most of them probably deserve articles, but until they have an article I say let's keep them off the list.  Einar aka   Carptrash (talk) 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I am starting to remove "statues" if they just link to a person (or something).  If there is a specific location and a sculptor listed then I am leaving it on the list.  This, as with all things on wikipedia, is open for discussion.  EinaR aka Carptrash (talk) 05:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  It seems to me 

message: but now am inclined to remove the links in this list that do not go to an article about the statue, or something very related.  There is a Queen Victoria statue listed, in Hong Kong, and when I click on the link I go to an article about a park and there is a picture of the statue,  Fair enough.  But sometimes the link is to an article about a person, but no mention is made of the statue.  Unless I read a pretty good argument as to why those links should remain, I am going to commence with removing them.  Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: hi, i would like to see a list based on sources, for example  (lame but open to better). and then build the public art articles on that. however, the public art articles are list by city not state. i did substitute some statue articles for the subject, but am open to your deletions. public art seems to be locally driven rather than top down, like this list. this needs some serious rewriting.

text: well that list is grouped by period, artist, work, city. could copy and drop in a sort table, by city, work, artist, period. it is a little western; recent bias, and some quibbles - estruscans; early romans are greek? and new oldest work not Venus of Willendorf, but Vogelherd cave. this article is showing its age.

thread_title:  I have touched on this before 

message: how best to intigrate statues such as these, The Hiker (Newman) and The Hiker (Kitson) and Spirit of the American Doughboy into this list?  I suppose each statue is a unique work and should be listed in what ever state it occurs.  Right?  Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 06:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  I am wondering  

message: Can this list have some pictures? It looks rather dull like this. 84.106.26.81 (talk) 17:11, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  illustrations 

message: The section for the United States seems big enough to have it's own list. We could divide the rest by continent. That way each other list will look unfinished and invite participation. In the current format it isn't obvious that China has only one entry. 84.106.26.81 (talk) 17:26, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split by continent? 

message: Move section content to List of statues in X, and link these lists? "most famous statues" is terribly relative.--Zoupan 20:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transform into [[Lists of statues]]?
