added citation citing notability of the statue - James shaw went on to be mayor of london ( Mccarthystumble ( talk) 09:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC))
i have now cited Archibald McKay's The History of Kimarnock which comments on the noteworthiness of the statue itself. I trust this will be ok to prevent deletion. The text also discusses james Shaw and his achievements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccarthystumble ( talk • contribs) 19:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Although the statue is itself notable, I think there is much duplication of material between this article and Sir James Shaw, 1st Baronet, which I have since created. Accordingly, I think the statue is somewhat less notable than the man himself, in the absence of ample sources, and the statue should be described in the man's article, where it is already mentioned in the "Legacy" section. Of course, this article may well be redirected to the biography, and other content merged, so nothing will be lost. Rodhull andemu 00:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
