Talk:Portal:Places

Places

Any other places worthy of adding articles for? Off the top of my head, I'd guess:

• • Businesses/Offices:
    • Linderman's casino
    • FBI Headquarters
    • Matt's precinct
  • Homes:
    • The Sanderses' home
    • The Bennets' home
    • Peter Petrelli's apartment
    • Charles Deveaux's apartment
    • The Spragues' home
    • The Parkmans' home
    • The Petrellis' home (Nathan and Heidi's, that is)
    • The Walkers' home

• If we want to include truly trivial ones:
  • The convenience store
  • Tina's home (maybe)
  • Peter's hospital in New York (named?)
  • Claire's hospital in Odessa (named?)
  • The abandoned refinery (where Claire jumps)
  • The money launderer's
  • The karaoke bar

Other ideas?--Hardvice (talk) 13:39, 30 November 2006 (EST)

• Playing devil's advocate, do we really need to have a location for every scene? I would think that anything that has appeared in more than one episode would be worthy of a page, but that's just me. --Orne 13:50, 30 November 2006 (EST)
  • I tend to agree. As for Niki's house, you're probably right (except that it would be "The Sanderses' house" since "Sanders" isn't plural.)--Hardvice (talk) 13:58, 30 November 2006 (EST)
    • Agree - let's start with some of the more basic ones that we haven't covered, and then move on from there. I think the red links above are good ones to begin with... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:05, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Subcats

Aren't the "other" entries mostly businesses?--Hardvice (talk) 16:14, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Well, yeah - with the exception of Sylar's cell and Primatech (because who knows what they do there?) I think those two should really go under education/research. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:43, 13 December 2006 (EST)

GN content

Should we include all the GN places and locations on these portal pages and series bars, or should we create a seperate portal for them. My vote goes for a separate portal. Perhaps a branch off of "Graphic Novels" ---- 02:59, 3 January 2007 (EST)

I think we should probably follow the same guidelines we're following for the characters. I vote for making a "Graphic Novel Places" portal (sorry, Hardvice!) and navbar for those places that are only shown or mentioned in the GNs. Once they are referenced in the show (the Deveaux Gallery, for instance) I think they should go in their regular spot. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:50, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Of course, the Deveaux Gallery still hasn't been referenced by name in an episode...--Hardvice (talk) 12:03, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Not by name, but still referenced. Hmmm, tough one, eh? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:28, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Separating them out is no problem. However, if we are going to keep separating out Graphic Novel charatcers, places, locations, etc., I'd rather just make a separate top-level cat for the graphic novels and put everything as subcats of that, and then change Portal:Graphic Novels to have links to each (Issues, Characters, Places, Locations. I'd probably exempt Powers for now, since the only GN-only power will eventually be in the show, but otherwise, I'd want pretty much every cat duplicated under GN (Soma in 'Graphic Novel References', Alaskan Facility in 'Graphic Novel Places', etc.) This would give us more of the separation we need to make the source of information more clear.--Hardvice (talk) 12:15, 3 January 2007 (EST)

That's fine, I guess. I like integrating GNs and the episodes, but I guess it doesn't really matter. My preference is to keep it the way it is, but as long as I can find the info, that's all that really matters, right? In either case, I trust you to make it beautiful and navigable, as you've done such a fantastic job with the other portals. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:28, 3 January 2007 (EST)
