Talk:Muhallabia

Muhallabia should be merged with Mahallebi - it is the same desert, same ingredients, same name, and a merge would expand the geographical scope and stop petty nationalistic quarrels over origin. Also "Mahallebi" is much more popular as a title of the desert - check Google search. I already merged it but it was reverted for unclear reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.251.117.205 (talk) 18:07, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Look at the pictures to see the unclear reasons please. --Bakebread (talk) 18:24, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Here you can see different articles that state muhallebi and muhallabia are the same thing:

I propose that Muhallabia be merged into Mahallebi. They are basically the same dessert although there are a variety of ways in which it is made.[1] Doug Weller (talk) 14:17, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Merge The differences between them are minute, and it seems the sole reasons for having two distinct articles is to celebrate petty squabbles! _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 14:45, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
• Merge At least one benefit would be to get some sourcing for this dessert. It might even get two stub article into one more informative one. MarnetteD|Talk 15:46, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

...some saucing for this dessert...! _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 16:02, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Merge – providing Muhallabia is the article title, please. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 17:39, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Whatever seems to be the most common name in English reliable sources. Doug Weller (talk) 18:25, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
