This monument isn't notable on its own; it's only notable as one of many confederate monuments facing increased scrutiny over the past few weeks. Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials may be a possible redirect target, but this is a new page and not a particularly plausible search term. Power~enwiki ( talk) 05:39, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. The only coverage of this monument prior to the news of the past few weeks is passing mention in lists of statues on the campus. bd2412 T 21:59, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect [was "Delete" -- do ncr am 17:22, 28 August 2017 (UTC)]. I note that redirection to List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America might be an alternative, but it is better to have it as a redlink listed there. Also it is presumably covered in Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials. Like other new stubs created on some of these monuments, this article has no content about the monument itself. -- do ncr am 01:42, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- We actually have a subsection about it at
Duke Chapel. So that would be a better redirect.

- Redirecting to anchor now set at Duke Chapel#Robert E. Lee statue would be okay by me. That short section is currently primarily about removal, but has a sentence about it being unclear how the statue got there, and it could be a place to cover the statue. -- do ncr am 17:22, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: No need to delete. If there's not enough coverage to justify a standalone article, just redirect. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:20, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect' per above. I would have approved of a redirect with no offical discussion. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:30, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
