Statue of Robert Baden-Powell, London

Statue of Baden-Powell by Don Potter
- ... that the statue of Robert Baden-Powell in London, unlike its counterpart in Poole, has not been targeted for removal? "Baden-Powell Returns To Poole Quay". Borough of Poole. 2008. Archived from the original on 16 February 2011.
- ALT1:... that when it was unveiled, the statue of Robert Baden-Powell was the only granite statue in London? Matthews, Peter (2012). London’s Statues and Monuments.
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Flag of Ulster
- 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)

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)
