The Monument to the Unknown Soldier → Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Baghdad – The "The" does not belong in the name, see Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Sofia as comparison. Gryffindor (talk) 20:53, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support as the current title is not distinct from comparable titles omitting "The"; retarget the current title to Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which covers the general topic of memorialization of unknown soldiers. BD2412 T 03:29, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom. And agree with retargeting as above. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
