Statue of Heydar Aliyev, Mexico City
- ... that the statue of Heydar Aliyev in Mexico City was meant to be displayed for 99 years, but was removed after five months (former location pictured)? Source: "[The Azrbaijani Embassy] said the city government had signed an agreement stipulating the monument should be allowed to remain in the spot for 99 years." (Aljazeera)
- ALT1:... that the statue of Heydar Aliyev was brought to Mexico City from Azerbaijan by ship? Source: "...incluso si ésta implica el retiro o la reubicación de la estatua de bronce, tallada en Azerbaiyán y traída a México en barco. [...including if this implies removing or relocating the bronze statue sculpted in Azerbaijan and brought to Mexico by ship.]" (Excélsior)
- ALT2:... that after removing the statue of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijan's "national hero" (pictured), it was disposed "into a dirt yard strewn with debris"? Source: "A Web video of the statue’s removal shows it being unloaded into a dirt yard, strewn with debris and stacks of bricks. It’s an ignominious fate for the hero of a nation." (Slate)
- ALT3:... that the installation of a statue of Heydar Aliyev in Mexico City was called "disrespectful and insensitive" by protesters? Source: "Una protesta de vecinos, activistas ambientales y defensores de los derechos humanos [...] se manifestaron en contra de la efigie inaugurada un mes antes por Marcelo Ebrard [...] y solicitaron su retiro al considerar 'una falta de respeto y sensibilidad' que un 'dictador' estuviera en la avenida más representativa del DF. [A protest of neighbors, environment activist and human rights defenders [...] manifested against the effigy inaugurated a month before by Marcelo Ebrard [...] and requested it to be removed as they consider 'disrespectful and insensitive' that a 'dictator' was in the most representative avenue of Mexico City." (Excélsior)

ALT0. Article meets requirements. The non-free image in the article has an appropriate use rationale. ALT0 is interesting, and is accompanied by a freely licenced picture which works at a small scale. ALT1 says "Mexico City" while the article says only "Mexico", and there's a bit of overland to get through, but it is at any rate less interesting. ALTs 2 and 3 are not as interesting and dip their toe into NPOV-concern territory. CMD (talk) 17:01, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
