You also have exceptions such as the Albert Memorial in London, England.

My intuition is that we need another rather clear and simple criterion:
it's monument if it's high enough. All the examples on the Wiki are at
least 15 m high and your ones are also the same.
That would be quite straightforward to add to Wiki definition and the
result would be much easier to recognize. It could be something like (**
marks a planned addition):
"A memorial object, especially large (one can go inside, walk on or
through it) *or high enough (at least a dozen or so meters)* and made of
stone, built to remember, show respect to a person or group of people or
to commemorate an event."
