[edit] Merge with Chicle
The Chicle article deals with the same tree just a different economic use of it. I propose that all content is merged here. Mrs Trellis 21:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - they are two different species (Manilkara chicle, Manilkara zapota). Related, but not the same - MPF 23:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - I agree that there are two separate species but both produce sweet edible fruit of similar appearance and taste and both produce gums from the latex sap which are similar in properties. I have no problem with two separate articles about the two separate species. What is both confusing and wrong is to call one article Sapodilla and the other Chicle, especially when Manilkara chicle is described as "...a species of sapodilla tree" .

- Agree on the last point, that should be changed to "a species of Manilkara" - MPF 21:50, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Counterproposal: Merge Balatá, Chicle and Sapodilla under Manilkara and destub
- Comment - given MPF's objection, since there are three commercially important Manilkara species, each with its own article (we haven't mentioned Balatá here yet, but it belongs), and an article for the genus too, why not merge the three spp. into the Manilkara article as sections and have redirects from the original pages? It would have the added benefit of destubbing the Manilkara page. Kay Dekker 00:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
