Proposed merge of Pershing (doughnut) into Persian (roll)

They are the same thing (see https://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/great-canadian-cookbook/blog/history-of-the-thunder-bay-persian-roll-done/) Spudlace (talk) 22:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – a cursory web search indicates both words are used for iced and glazed versions alike. I'm not sure whether there is a regional distinction or the choice is made by individual sellers. I also note that some sellers and recipes call it a cinnamon roll donut. Ibadibam (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Current articles are very confusing, and the differences (as well as additional variants) would be better explained within a single article. Nicole Sharp (talk) 09:53, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
