Talk:Statue of Jefferson Davis (U.S. Capitol)/Archive 1

Requested move 4 November 2020

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed. There is a clear policy-based consensus that the page should be moved away from its current title, and within that, most editors either favor or are not specifically opposed to the proposed title in the current state of affairs. What title should be used if the location of the statue changes in the future is a question for the future. BD2412 T 16:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Jefferson Davis (Lukeman) → Statue of Jefferson Davis (U.S. Capitol) – Per WP:VAMOS, which says, " See also: Category:Statues of Jefferson Davis -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 04:09, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose "U.S. Capitol". That's an awful disambiguation, especially when the quoted text by the nom says to use the name of the city. Use the name of the city and I'll support. --Gonnym (talk) 19:47, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The style Statue of Jefferson Davis (Washington, D.C.) would suggest an outdoor statue. While it's admittedly unlikely that the Confederate president would have such a statue in Washington, D.C., there should be a consistent style for all the 100+ statues inside the U.S. Capitol, and this style balances brevity with ease of identification.

 * Comment [changed to a Support]: I support the principle behind this RM, but this statue might soon be removed from the Capitol. I think the most appropriate title then would be Statue of Jefferson Davis (ex–U.S. Capitol) – with a dash not a hyphen, per MOS:PREFIXDASH. Worth holding fire on renaming the article until we know the statue's fate? Ham II (talk) 20:40, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , What about Statue of Jefferson Davis (National Statuary Hall Collection)? The statue will always be associated with the collection, regardless of location. Open to moving again once fate is determined. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:04, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If it'll always be associated with the National Statuary Hall Collection, it'll also always be associated with the U.S. Capitol to the same degree – i.e. someone aware of the statue's history will associate it with those things. CThomas3's rationale below seems like a good reason to support the move, though. Ham II (talk) 18:02, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Prefer U.S. Capitol disambiguator to Washington, D.C. per Ham II. Oppose ex-U.S. Capitol per WP:CRYSTAL; the House passed its legislation four months ago, and the Senate has yet to act or indicate that it plans to. The statue could very well remain at the Capitol for years if not indefinitely. If and when the statue moves, we can consider a new move request.  C Thomas3   (talk) 08:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
