S/T EP[edit]

According to Metal-Archives, the EP was original released in 2001 as a self release then re-released by Hydra Head in 2003. I'll just to get some other sources to confirm this and if so, I'll make the edit and not the fact. Dace59 14:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pelican-logo.png[edit]

Image:Pelican-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Untapped resource[edit]

Here be a decent, usefully vague Lamgoat interview from 2004. Not crap. Seegoon (talk) 00:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This too, for an '06 retrospective. Seegoon (talk) 17:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Headbanger's Ball stuff... Seegoon (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MORE Headbanger's Ball stuff and a guest blog from Schroeder-Lebec. Score. Seegoon (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Themes"[edit]

This entire section should be deleted. It's entirely irrelevant, reads as if written by a fan, and has no sources. In fact, I'm gonna delete it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.145.118 (talk) 13:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ephemeral[edit]

Just a heads up, there currently seems to be two articles on the same EP (probably by mistake): Ephemeral (EP) and Ephemeral (Pelican album). One is linked in the discography section and the other is in the band template. One of these should be deleted. Fezmar9 (talk) 19:10, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's silly. I think the course of action would be to take anything useful from the (Pelican album) article and slot it into the (EP) one, as the latter is correctly named. The album cover, for instance, should be salvaged and added to the infobox. Once that's done, I expect that (Pelican album) could be speedily deleted under criterion G6. Seegoon (talk) 23:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like an appropriate course of action. However, I have only seen the cover art for this release found on the (Pelican album) article. I cannot find a source for the art found on the (EP) article. Are you familiar with this release? Fezmar9 (talk) 18:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ashamedly not; my remit extends to the full-lengths (I wrote the article on City of Echoes). If in doubt, dispose of it, I guess. It can always be restored at a later date if more information comes to light. Seegoon (talk) 13:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Laurent[edit]

Just a heads up, added a closing sentiment to the Biography and mentioned it here for speedy removal; the sentiment is clearly value not fact and regards the band's notice of Laurent's decision to abandon his brothers via their Official website. While the loss is noted and clearly likely to be a valued consideration among fans upon further investigation, it's unmerited here. Please dispose of it and this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.208.169.167 (talk) 19:49, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not the first Pelican band[edit]

Around 1975 or '76 I saw a band named Pelican play at North Adams State College, Massachusetts. They were a Swedish rock band, but not heavy metal. I've been searching for information about that band. Alas, Wikipedia only references the subject of this article, with no disambiguation lead. Google, also, will only reference the U.S. heavy metal band. giggle (talk) 14:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
