Cfork?[edit]

How is this not a content fork of squash soup? As I recall Mysterious Whisper and I were of the opinion that pumpkin soup doesn't constitute a separate topic, because pumpkins do not constitute a well-defined subset of squashes. Ibadibam (talk) 22:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the German Wikipedia article for pumpkin soup. This is a specific soup that has been prepared in many European countries for quite some time. Per the commonality of the soup in various cultures, and that the topic is notable, ~~I feel that the topic is better covered as a separate topic, rather than co-mingled with the general squash soup article.~~ North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:24, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That proves the point: German has one word for both pumpkin and other squash: Kürbis. Kürbissuppe is made from any type of Cucurbita fruit. Ibadibam (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Struck part of my comment above. See commentary below for more information. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:12, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Pumpkin soup[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. --Jon Sega (talk) 09:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Squash and Pumpkin soup are different en.wp articles, but in Wikidata squash soup maps to pumpkin soup, which is misleading Fuzheado | Talk 17:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't feel that a merge based upon Wikidata matters is really the best way to start off. I typically discuss merge matters in relation to article content. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 18:08, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well Wikidata is wrong, squash and pumpkin are two different things. Don't merge. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpkin is a poorly defined subset of squash, the whole fruit of which has with particular cultural associations. But I would be surprised if you could tell the difference between pumpkins and any other type of squash once they're cooked into soup. A lot of food labeled for sale as pumpkin is actually made from other cultivars of squash. Ibadibam (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see my rationale above in the Cfork? section regarding my view that this should remain as a separate article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:58, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need for a merge discussion. This page was boldly split off from squash soup without consensus, and I see no reason it can't be undone without further discussion. But I have a ton of respect for Northamerica1000 and wanted to give them the opportunity to defend the split. Ibadibam (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe merge back after all. I have changed my mind a bit after further consideration of all of this. So, no prejudice against merging at this time. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If merged, I think the {{Expand German|date=September 2012|Kürbissuppe}} template should be included in the merge. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 18:02, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Some squashes go by both the names "pumpkin" and "squash". There isn't a clear line. Is kabocha soup a suash soup or a pumpkin soup? --Gomuragi (talk) 11:24, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

usually bound?[edit]

The first sentence tells me that pumpkin soup is a "usually bound soup". I hadn't come across this expression before - what does it mean? Searches both here on wp and elsewhere have not yet thrown up any answers. --David Edgar (talk) 22:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So I understand that it's simply a term used to mean 'thick'. (see https://www.gastronomixs.com/en/ingredients/soup) I've edited the sentence a bit to make this clear. --David Edgar (talk) 00:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
