- ALT1:... that when it was unveiled, the statue of Robert Baden-Powell (pictured) was the only granite statue in London? Matthews, Peter (2012). London’s Statues and Monuments.

- Comment: I would make this a double nomination, but it looks like the Poole article may be outside the nomination window. I am open to making this a double nomination, and can add another QPQ. I would credit the second article to Daemonickangaroo2018, Pigsonthewing and PamD.

- Comment: City of London should be London; they're not the same thing and the statue is in the latter but not the former. Ham II (talk) 14:38, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Fixed. --evrik (talk) 14:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Ham II: the article has been the source of disagreement over two sentences an two sources. If you have expertise in this area, please weigh in. --evrik (talk) 14:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- The ALT1 claimed fact is not correct. There has been a granite statue of William IV in London since 1844, first at King William Street and then since 1935 in Greenwich Park, where it is now Grade II listed. While south of river now, by almost any measure that is just as much “in London” as Kensington, although no longer in the City of London. The first suggestion (ALT0?) probably needs a “yet” - “not yet targeted for removal”. 82.132.229.19 (talk)
- ALT2 ... that the statue of Robert Baden-Powell (pictured) in London was created by sculptor Don Potter, who had once been commissioned by Baden-Powell to carve totem poles? — Maile (talk) 23:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
