[edit] Punkin=Pumpakin?
Didnt know which to say it on, but this and pumpakin are similar, and kinda short. Can't we merge them somehow? StrongAwesome74 01:35, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- No. Any attempt to merge would get awkward. A page called "Irregular pronunciations for 'Pumpkin'" just wouldn't work as well as these two short and sweet articles. — Defender1031*Talk 01:38, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same thing as StrongAwesome74. There's gotta be a way. "Punkin/Pumpakin" with individual redirects, perhaps. — It's dot com 01:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- You haven't given a reason WHY we should merge them. — Defender1031*Talk 01:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- I like dotcom's idea for the title. -132.183.151.181 01:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- DeF: Besides "similar, and kinda short" pages about "irregular pronunciations for 'Pumpkin'"? — It's dot com 02:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- That, and there're only two instances of each... Hardly enough to warrant two individual pages. I agree with the idea of a merge. -YK
02:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- I also agree that we merge. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 02:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Count again. There's 3 instances of pumpakin and 4 of this. they just happen to overlap. That said, it looks like i'm gonna get voted down here, but i just want to say, if i hadn't made these simultaneously, and instead let one settle in before making the other, i feel like this wouldn't have been suggested, and they'd have remained separate pages. But if we must merge, we need a better name than anything suggested thusfar. — Defender1031*Talk 02:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Why not merge them into an all-encompassing Pumpkins article that includes the text from these as subsections as well as a treatise on its prominence in halloween-related toons? EDC--Stux 02:45, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
