Talk:The Pelican

Notability

This is a good article. However, I have to question the notability of the subject - a single bar on Solaris VII, one among hundreds of thousands. Planetary features - be they continents, mountain ranges, cities, or whatever, are typically covered in the Planet section of the respective system article. So in any case this whole article would normally belong into the Solaris article. This particular bar is onwhere near important enough on an Inner Sphere-wide scale to warrant its own article. Keep in mind that we don't even have an article about Valhalla and Thor's Shieldhall here, arguably the most famous bar on Solaris VII... Frabby (talk) 13:12, 8 March 2018 (EST)

That article on Valhalla is to come :). As for the place, it is also used in one novel, James D. Long first BattleTech novel Main Event. In theory this is supposed to be one of the top places in the bar landscape, at least from my understanding on the Unbound. By the way, by doing this I fear that we could end up making Solaris planet entry too big...--Pserratv (talk) 13:47, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Personally feel we need to added separate entries for each of the Solaris City districts with brief descriptions of their features, with breakouts to extremely notable places like Thor's Shieldhall or the restaurants we've seen in the novels. Compared to many locations in the Places Category we have quite a bit more detail and even repeated detail between the Solaris boxset, MechWarrior Guide, Mappack and the novels about these places. I'll add in more detail about The Pelican (Pelican Shooters!) this weekend if I don't knuckle down and finish Thor's Shieldhall/Midgard/Valhalla first.Cyc (talk) 16:29, 8 March 2018 (EST)
