Talk:Baked potato

Twice-baked potato
This could probably be merged with potato. --Alan del Beccio 20:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. --From Andoria with Love 20:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * If we merged iced coffee with coffee using the rationale that it was the same thing, just prepared differently, why not merge this with potato?


 * so apparently this has been suggested(and seconded) but nothing was done(unless I am missing something).--31dot 20:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That sounds about right. Jaf 22:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)Jaf

Actually that was for the merging of twice-baked potato to potato before the baked potato article even existed. Once this article was created, the twice-baked article got merged here. With that said, I oppose. This is a dish and deserves to be merged no more than apple pie deserves to be merged into apple. --Alan 23:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * How is that different than iced coffee/coffee?--31dot 23:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Apple pie is also more than just apples. A baked potato is just a potato that is baked.--31dot 23:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I see no reason why the iced coffee and coffee necessarily had to be merged, as there is apparently a distinction between -. Otherwise, unlike coffee/iced coffee, a is a "specially prepared dish," from a, just like an apple pie is a specially prepared dish from apples. Whereas, unlike you analogy, there are no s involved. --Alan 23:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That's reasonable, but we should be consistent- if we're not going to merge these two then we should split up the coffee article back the way it was.--31dot 23:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * For reference, here is the PfD discussion which ended up as a merge.--31dot 00:01, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose merge of baked potato with potato. As stated above, one is a specific dish made from the other. --From Andoria with Love 04:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
