A Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in the City of Gothenburg → Raoul Wallenberg memorial, Gothenburg – The current title is needlessly long and wrongly capitalised. Unless the official English title of the work really is literally A Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in the City of Gothenburg, this article should be moved to a simpler, shorter, more natural title.

• Comment. The title of the monument is In Memory of Raoul Wallenberg's Deed. [1] - Station1 (talk) 19:54, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
• Support Raoul Wallenberg Memorial, Gothenburg, as it does appear to have "Memorial" as part of its common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Note that I'm also happy with Raoul Wallenberg Monument, Gothenburg. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. I think "memorial" should be lower-case since the proposed name is not the actual title of the work. However, there seem to be some confusion on the title. The artist calls it Raoul Wallenberg Monument, City of Gothenburg calls it Minnesmärke - Raoul Wallenberg (Memorial –- Raoul Wallenberg) and there is a book source in the article that says it is called In Memory of Raoul Wallenberg's Deed. Any one of these would be better than the current title. Sjö (talk) 12:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
• Support per WP:CONCISE. I would preference Raoul Wallenberg Monument, Gothenburg; in the absence of a common name, we need a descriptive one, and that seems the most suitable by virtue of being semi-official, and consistent with the naming of similar memorials/monuments.

• Support A Memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in the City of Gothenburg → Raoul Wallenberg Monument, Gothenburg per BilledMammal and per link supplied above by Sjö, indicating the work's name on the artist's website as "Raoul Wallenberg Monument". Such a main title header would be also analogous to the header of the already-existing article delineating Raoul Wallenberg Monument, London. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
