Keep It's the general name for several flatbreads in the Middle East, certainly notable and independent enough for a page. jolielover♥talk 09:52, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also worth noting that "Kuboos" is different from Pita bread; Pita bread is thicker and softer, while this type is more popular for shawarmas. It's very rarely referred to as Pita bread here actually; I assumed it was North American. I don't think Pita and Khubz are the same thing. Some links (just to prove what I'm saying is true, obviously not to be used as sources: [1],

[2]) referring to this flatbread as Kuboos, Some info on that could be added. Also, I'd recommend moving this title to Kuboos since that's usually how it's spelled and pronounced. jolielover♥talk 11:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC) [reply]

- I still think it should be kept as it's the term for bread in the Middle East and typically refers to Arabic bread. There should be a general page for Arabic bread as there are different types; however, am striking my vote since maybe the article should be recreated, or something of the sort. Arabic bread or bread in the ME would probably be a more appropriate title. jolielover♥talk 04:22, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move to 'Bread in the Arab Middle East' or something similar. 'Khubz' can be any bread. --Soman (talk) 23:01, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jolielover there is no word in Arabic as "Kuboos". I don't know what you are referring by that word. The article in question is about Khubz, not Kuboos. "Kaboos" means nightmare in Arabic.

Khubz in Arabic can refer to any type of bread. Just type bread in Google translate. Khubz is "bread". It is a word. Not a type of bread. 176.28.150.183 (talk) 03:39, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment: we use pita or saj or tortilla for shawerma. We don't have a "Kuboos" bread. 176.28.150.183 (talk) 03:41, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just googled "Kuboos" and found that it is used to refer to Pita [3] 176.28.150.183 (talk) 03:48, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first link says clearly "Golden Loaf Arabic Shawarma Breads" and the second link, on the picture, the writings on the bag read "Lebanese bread" 176.28.150.183 (talk) 03:46, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
