Talk:List of the tallest statues in the United States

Watts Towers

• I didn't include the 99-foot-tall Watts Towers. Not sure why, except they may be more "architectural" than "statuesque" --Dystopos (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Well then how about the 62-foot (19 m) King of Kings? It is a statue, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.141.64.14 (talk) 03:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

And continuing on the subject, the King of Kings (statue) wikipedia page claims it IS a statue so it should be added. It is the 8th highest statue in the United States. (Unless other tall ones are missing)85.217.38.4 (talk) 23:57, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Extant or historical?

Is this list limited to still-standing statues, or does it include documented historical statues that no longer survive? cmadler (talk) 12:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

As it now stands the ehe list is just extant pieces, but go ahead and add something that no longer exists. Or at least toss out here what you have in mind. Einar Carptrash (talk) 14:56, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

The one I had in mind was King of Kings (statue), which, at 62 feet, would be 7th on this list. Maybe this article should have a separate section for non-surviving statues? cmadler (talk) 17:54, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

I am inclined to include it and see what happens. I am also about to start posting abstract statues, which might also raise a hue and cry. We'll see. Carptrash (talk) 18:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

72-foot Abraham Lincoln statue in Ashmore, Illinois

There is a statue of Abraham Lincoln in Ashmore, IL which stands (approx.) 72 feet in height. It might not be much to look at, but it IS a 72-foot statue in the U.S -- and should place near the top of this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattkilleen (talk • contribs) 22:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

• Can you provide a reliable source for that? If so, it could certainly be added. cmadler (talk) 23:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

• Is SillyAmerica.com considered a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattkilleen (talk • contribs) 06:01, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
