Merge and expand memorialization of George Floyd?

There are several articles about specific memorials to George Floyd that may lack lasting notability on their own. Perhaps there could be a better quality article that discusses the memorialization of George Floyd more broadly?

Possible articles to consider merging:

Bust of George Floyd
George Floyd mural (Portland, Oregon) with some trimming for lasting relevance
George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art database with some trimming for lasting relevance
Statue of George Floyd

Possible articles with relevant content to draw from:

George Floyd Square, the section on George Floyd Global Memorial
George Floyd Square occupied protest, the section on George Floyd murals
George Floyd, the section on Memorials and legacy
Murder of George Floyd, the section on Memorials
George Floyd protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the section on Memorials and gathers (see June 4, 2020)
Official George Floyd Memorial Fund, a GoFundMe campaign discussed there

Other things worth a few sentences or more in an article about memorializing George Floyd:

George Floyd Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Bridgett Floyd in Mooresville, North Carolina

Those are just a few. What do others think? Minnemeeples (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article's grown a lot and I imagine there's much more to add. I don't think merging entries is necessary at this time. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:21, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He also held his pregnant girlfriend at gun point records state
