Talk:Gyros

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus is that the primary topic is established, if nothing else since the proposed new title is already a PRIMARYREDIRECT to this article. Furthermore, opposition is not based in policy or guidelines. Pointing out ambiguity in a primary topic situation is pointless; ambiguity is a given. So what? Also, “title doesn’t sufficiently establish what the subject is” is not relevant to WP:CRITERIA. The proposed title is the most common name of the topic. That’s undisputed and sufficient by definition. Come on, folks.  (non-admin closure)   В²C ☎ 06:58, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: We don't insert disambiguation parentheticals into titles unless it is necessary because another article shares the same title, which it does not in this particular case. And "gyro" is a slang term for gyroscope, not "gyros". Rreagan007 (talk) 19:14, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't remember the exact policy wording, but we do require that a title be clear enough to adequately identify the topic, not simply that it be unique, I personally often find that I end up landing on articles that have failed to identify themselves clearly and WP's search function demands a re-type. My logic on this name is that "gyros" does not satisfy the 'clarity' requirement, whether a parenthesis is the best way to achieve clarity is a separate question. In the case of 'gyros', the word isn't particularly ambiguous, but it isn't very clear either. Pincrete (talk) 07:16, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: And yet, articles like kokoretsi,  loukaniko, pastitsio, souvlaki and taramasalata require no "parenthetical info" (disambiguation). Funny, that. WWGB (talk) 09:58, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate that most editors prefer article titles to be as short as possible. I personally think that it would be good if article titles were clearer, especially as you have to re-type if you end up on the wrong article, as I often do. It isn't like reading the first sentence in a paper encyclopaedia, then flicking on an item/page or two, if you've landed in the wrong place. It is part of policy is it not that the article title clearly identify the subject, not simply be a unique name? I personally would immediately recognise all but one of those foods, but many readers wouldn't. Pincrete (talk) 17:04, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

message: The introduction says it is normally made with lamb in Greece. But under Preparation it says it is normally made with pork and rarely lamb. Which is it? 89.99.73.208 (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in Greece. Gyros with pork meat and chicken meat is common where I live (Western Thrace), while I have never heard of gyros with lamb meat. Dimadick (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Lamb and beef are largely US. The unexplained change from pork was made by an IP on 22nd July. Pincrete (talk) 13:20, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure if this is limited to shops catering for tourists, but vegan gyros is also becoming increasingly more common. I will try find sources. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 21:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Normally lamb or pork? 

message: I don't think we should pretend this is some special Canadian traditional dish. It's just a Döner made in Canada. Despite a bit of variation in the sauce.
Same with the "Al Pastor" döner from Mexico. Or should we also include the döner they make in Germany, in England, in France, etc. and call them traditional dishes? What about pizza - I'm sure each country could get its own Wiki entry for the kind of pizza they make in that country.
