message: Please undo the page split, discuss, then if there's consensus, split. But not before. Badagnani (talk) 05:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At first, we did not like the idea of the split, but after seeing the cited references and the confusion that exists long before wikipedia did regarding these fruits those species and the names, we rather like the idea of a split.  What about making an article for all of the fruits?  We have been thinking that an article named Anon that listed all of these species fruits and what they should mean would be very interesting and the least confusing of all the options.  All of the annona common fruit names could redirect there to where the nutritional and insecticidal information exists and any reader could more easily determine which fruit and what nutrition.  One day soon, all of the Paw-paw will probably be dna sampled and put into the Annona species -- it is just better this way.  We spoke about it and we all agree. (Now we are going to think about making our user page so it will reflect how difficult to exist in an environment like this where everything we do is always considered to be the right thing....) -- TheConsensus (talk) 18:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I think you should cool it.  If the name Custard-apple is to be a single entity and all, consider the name The Consensus and demonstrate how to work without going against it.... -- carol (talk) 03:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Undo split 

message: *http://www.custardapple.com.au/info.php
*http://waynesword.palomar.edu/jackfr1.htm#cherimoya two different fruits are there as Cherimoya
*[] ITIS says it is the name for 1300 species of tree, will they all be listed here?
*http://www.foodmuseum.com/sugarapple.html look at the name of the reference for this text (The Custard Apple (Sugar Apple))
*http://www.123exp-food.com/t/01024609165/ the 'language of nutrition' (written in English) claims "custard apple the fruit of any of several tropical American trees of the genus Annona having soft edible pulp."
My question is not if all 1300 species will be represented on this page (because I can read English) but when and how?  Will each species have its own article or will they be here with subheadings? -- carol (talk) 09:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the pictures are that of wood apple (Bael), custard apples are what the 1st link shows. Can someone please verify and confirm? Thanks--GDibyendu (talk) 09:49, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusion about what Custard apples are in the English speaking world

message: *Merge from Annona reticulata. Common English name; illogical to have two separate articles on the very same species, as we do not have separate articles for Peach and Prunus persica. Badagnani (talk) 22:50, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Comment - There is no reason to have separate articles for Peach and Prunus persica, and there is no reason to have separate articles for Custard-apple and Annona reticulata. In each case, the terms refer to the same plant/fruit. Badagnani (talk) 04:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yes, there is a reason, the plants policy is that important agricultural and foodstuffs can have their own articles about the item as a food, and one about the plant under its scientific name. If you don't like the policy, change it, but don't say it doesn't exist.  Read WP:Plants.  --Blechnic (talk) 05:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes, it's the only "custard-apple bearing tree" because it is the custard-apple. We don't have two articles for Peach and Prunus persica, and for a good reason. Badagnani (talk) 19:09, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has a piece in the lead regarding other uses of the term custard apple, which is the point I was driving at.  Besides, WP:NC (flora) specifically states that there may be two articles: one for the fruit (a food) and one for the species (a thing of botanical interest).  That's why there are two articles, and that's why we should have an article for prunus persica.  Tealwisp (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
