King Neptune (statue) → Statue of Neptune – 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 ) 13:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose this is the only statue of Neptune in the world? In ictu oculi (talk) 15:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What about the Fountain of Neptune, Bologna. or statue of Neptune at the Długi Targ? In ictu oculi (talk) 16:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, then what about Statue of Neptune (Virginia Beach, Virginia)? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:56, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That would be fine. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose, there is also the sculpture Neptune (Pajou), and more at Category:Sculptures of Neptune. This is not a portrait sculpture as defined at Portrait as it expands and depicts much more than a focus on the face of the subject but contains a full arrangement of sculpted symbols, many sea creatures, and a dramatic surrounding presentation (including a large turtle). The name appears to be the real name of the statue, which works well. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:23, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not a portrait sculpture, and there seems to be plenty of evidence for King Neptune as a WP:COMMONNAME. Statue of Neptune (Virginia Beach) would make a good redirect, though. Ham II (talk) 11:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
