Fictional vs made up[edit]

Most of these are statues of actual fictional characters from literature etc. A couple-few are of people who are not real people, but are made up for the statue, either to represent some group of real people or whatever. That's different and I've removed several of those, as there are thousands of statues of a made up representative Confederate soldiers etc etc etc all over the world. I kept some:

  • Manneken Pis is so established famous that he's probably part of folk literatre
  • Big Tex, because, I don't know, he sees to have taken on life of his own as a character; It's arguable
  • Behold (statue), because it may be supposed to represent Kunta Kinte (not clear from the article), and Kunta Kinte is basically a fictional character (altho he is based on a person who may have been real)
  • Mermaid (Carl-Nielsen) "It is unknown if she was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale The Little Mermaid", but my guess is probably
  • Spirit of Ecstasy. It is kinda-sorta based on a real person, and its not exactly a fictional character, but its so established (100 years) and widespread and famous that... I dunno... it's almost its own fictional character at this point; arguable Herostratus (talk) 14:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
