Merge

I think this should be merged with Sherbet, it's the same thing. 90.196.221.87 (talk) 18:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Sherbet (Middle Eastern drink)

Done Any thoughts? Hyacinth (talk) 18:50, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. 70.15.212.110 (talk) 17:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A whole paragraph on Turkey

This article contains a whole paragraph named "Turkey" that is almost longer than all the rest of the article about a single country while Turkey is neither the only country of origin of sherbet nor the only one where this dessert is popular. I propose to rename it "Middle East" and expand it with other countries' contribution.---Wikaviani ^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:41, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Sharbat

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sharbat's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CIA":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:56, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To merge Cherbet into Sharbat (beverage) on the grounds of short text and context; national variant. Klbrain (talk) 11:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems very likely to be the same thing. – Joe (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Slight Oppose, It does look very similar, the only thing I could parse out was the Cherbet has a lack of milk and is Algerian instead of Persian. They also appear to be spelt pretty close to the same. ✶Mitch 199811 ✶ 14:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In favour. The name cherbet suggests it is a version of sherbet, by which I mean the synonym for the drink described in the Wikipedia article Sharbat (beverage), not the US desert described in the Wikipedia article Sherbet (frozen desert). The description of cherbet also conforms to that of sharbat, a chilled sweet drink “prepared from fruit or flower petals”, and occasionally spices. The lack of milk is not significant, most sharbats do not contain milk, charbat is just one of the many sharbats that do not contain milk. The sharbet article lists a number of countries in which sharbat is common in homes. I’m not aware of Wikipedia articles on, e.g. Turkish sharbat, Indian sharbat, so why the exception for Algerian sharbat? The Online Etymology Dictionary has cherbet as a synonym for sherbet, by which it means the synonym for the drink described ... Maidenhair (talk) 17:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
