The content of Pulla was merged into Cardamom bread on 17th November 2016. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
I can see I'm like eight years late on the topic of the "Pulla" article being merged here, but I have to offer my strong disagreement. If anything, the merge should have gone the other way - merging this article to "Pulla." As an American-Finn, I was baffled to have searched for "Pulla" only to be redirected here! I would note that the article itself uses pulla as its default term, not cardamom bread, and if you Google "Finland cardamom bread," the lead results use the term pulla instead. I also note that in the merge proposal and the subsequent merge, no rationales were offered for the merge, which I find problematic. It seems to me that pulla is the common, natural-language name and this should accordingly be used as the article's title. Thoughts? Disagreements? Mbinebritalk ←20:03, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It's never, ever called bread here in Finland because it's... pulla, and pulla is always a sweet pastry you have with coffee and tea, whereas bread (with the exception of dark, sweet limppu bread on Easter/Christmas) is always neutral or slightly salty. It even feels weird to Finnish speakers that in English, cakes and muffins can be salty because the equivalent terms for those in Finnish culture are always in the broader pulla category--again, something sweet that your mother would've told you to not eat too much of when you were a kid, because it's like the bakery equivalent of candy. (I'm bilingual in Finnish/British English and it weirds me out, too). So, if we are to follow Nordic usage, it is a separate category from bread. I know this is one of those things that's hard to translate because the terminology in English isn't a perfect match, so, pulla/bulla would seem like the best option to go for, title-wise.
I concur with the earlier comment up the page about the focus being too Sweden-centric and festive-centric, too. This is stuff people all over the Nordics eat every day on their coffee break, not just something made especially. Just one of those everyday things.
