Merge with John Deighton?[edit]

I am not going to formally suggest a merger at this time, but do we really need an article for the statute and a separate one for John Deighton himself? Couldn't this be appropriately covered in one article? I will put a note on that article too and we can discuss.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 20:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. I write about public art and sculpture often and there's enough coverage for a standalone article. There's nothing wrong with a stub, just needs to be expanded. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:01, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rework of article and references[edit]

I did some rework of the article, mostly curating the summary in the lede, and moving and adding some detail (taken from the John Deighton article) into the "History" subsection. I hope it's agreed that the old version [1] is improved upon with the new version [2].

I kept reference to the same sources, as I cutted and pasted, but I didn't review things to see that the references made sense regarding their position among the text. Even before, there seemed to be cites that weren't quite attached closely to the statements they were supporting. I promise to review that later.
