Major General Marquis Gilbert de Lafayette → Statue of the Marquis de Lafayette (Washington, D.C.) – 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)." The proposed title was suggested here, and disambiguation is required because there are other statues of the subject, including Marquis de Lafayette (Bartholdi), which should probably also be renamed... -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:57, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, avoids confusion between the persona and his later statue.--Bob not snob (talk) 07:49, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, MOS, and the following article titles referring to Lafayette in the same fashion: Honors and memorials to the Marquis de Lafayette, List of places named for the Marquis de Lafayette and Visit of the Marquis de Lafayette to the United States. 15:36, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, MOS, though I'd prefer Statue of Lafayette (Washington, D.C.) as less of a mouthfull. Johnbod (talk) 16:37, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
