George Rogers Clark (sculpture) → Statue of George Rogers Clark – 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) 14:34, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Consider Statue of George Rogers Clark (Charlottesville, Virginia). There are at least a half dozen other notable statues of George Rogers Clark, e.g., as described at George Rogers Clark § Honors and tributes. The existence of this article doesn't mean that the others are less notable – it's just a stub, and no one has bothered writing articles about the others. One prominent one that is still standing AFAIK is at Louisville's Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere (according to the article about the city, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778). There is another one at the George Rogers Clark National Historical ParkinVincennes, Indiana, and another erected in 1909 in Quincy, Illinois. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:54, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Move to George Rogers Clark Monument, per the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. This is more a sculptural group (of seven figures) than a statue. Ham II (talk) 12:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
