Confused...

[edit]

I'm confused. Some image searches and sources suggest this is an equestrian statue, others show a collection of 3 statues of standing men. Which is right? ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:40, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I was on the verge of creating this until I saw you had started it! The more contentious statue is surely the large equestrian bronze of Oñate at el Paso airport. No Swan So Fine (talk) 18:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No Swan So Fine, But I also just saw video footage on cable news showing people tearing down the installation with 3 statues of standing men... (???) ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:28, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, this says "two statues" are being removed: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/us/conquistador-onate-albuquerque-new-mexico-unrest.html. Maybe this explains the confusion. I think we may need two articles here? Perhaps move this one to Equestrian statue of Juan de Oñate for disambiguation purposes? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:48, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Meantime, I've created a stub for Statue of Juan de Oñate (Albuquerque, New Mexico). ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:04, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
