This article references a Press article from 10 March 2011. The article itself is online, but the online version omits a photo with the following caption:
Saving grace: Structural bracing being placed on the Our City O-Tautahi building, while a statue of Robert Scott lies on its face.
The toppled Scott Statue is in the foreground of that photo. The body of the article that is online does not make reference to the statue. Schwede66 20:46, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Scott Statue → Statue of Robert Falcon Scott – WP:VAMOS 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)." Disambiguation by location is not required at this time, unless editors feel the statue of Scott (which is one of many) in the Scott Monument means disambiguation would be helpful to users. --Another Believer(Talk) 22:50, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support If it's indeed a copy of a London statue, we might as well use disambiguation as suggested by Necrothesp. Schwede66 18:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
