Statue of Nelson Mandela, Balcony Cape Town City Hall overlooking the Grand Parade → Statue of Nelson Mandela, Cape Town – The title of this article is far too long. It's not a phrase that is likely to be searched for. Articles about other similar statues have far more succinct titles; Statue of Nelson Mandela, Johannesburg and Statue of Nelson Mandela, Union Buildings, this one should follow the same pattern. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:34, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Statue of Nelson Mandela, Cape Town City Hall. Not as long as the current title, but a little more descriptive than the suggestion. It's not a grand statue in the centre of the city, but a life-sized statue on a specific building. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Is there another statue of Mandela in Cape Town? If not, the title need not specify the City Hall as it would be redundant disambiguation. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, apparently there's another in Nobel Square. Support Statue of Nelson Mandela, Cape Town City Hall. BigBryan0 (talk) 08:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why not Nelson Mandela (Cape Town statue) Nelson Mandela (Cape Town City Hall statue), per the other names on the template. Unless there's already a Cape Town statue, which I didn't see on a quick look. That way you get the name of the statue in italics (as an artwork) and the city name without doing too much of a title extension. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:14, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- There's another statue of Nelson Mandela in Cape Town at Nobel Square. BigBryan0 (talk) 08:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Changed my comment to add 'City Hall', thanks. The simple name italicized still maybe should replace 'Statue of'. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:07, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Statue of Nelson Mandela, Cape Town City Hall, per WP:NATURALDAB and WP:CONCISE. We do not resort to parenthetical disambiguation when we don't need to. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
