S/T EP

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]

Untapped resource

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"

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

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

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

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]
