Chocolate bomb → Chocolate bomb (firecracker) – Most hits turn up a chocolate dessert. Dougweller (talk) 19:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Suggest PROD or AFD, sources do not show notability. 2601:D:3080:EA2:ECFA:CF4B:BEB1:170C (talk) 20:06, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I think perhaps a hatnote pointing readers who may be looking for the chocolate variety of a Bombe (or bomb) might be enough here.--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - no idea what "sources do not show notability" above means, since evidently plentiful sources in India, but the dessert is a more likely search outside India, the kind of cultural divide where (firecracker) only helps. A third topic Chocolate Bomb (cocktail) seems to exist only on websites, not in books. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:15, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose, we don't have an article related to the chocolate cake definition and, in any case, Wikipedia is not a menu (directory) and isn't known as a food guide. I just did a pre 01/01/2000 search on "CHOCOLATE BOMB" and found most results either for the firework or explosive bombs.  These are the primary topics and people knowing of the existence of the cake this interesting.  Gregkaye  ✍ ♪  04:40, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Gregkaye, doing a search only for stuff over 14 years old doesn't seem helpful. Current searches on Google and Google books show the vast majority going to the dessert. Dougweller (talk) 10:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Dougweller, I think that it demonstrates possibilities related to points of reference from which the cakes/deserts were named. Again there is no article named after the cake and the current article, I think, rightfully holds the basic name space.  Again I think that people looking for chocolate bomb the cake may be interested to note the existence of this content.  I don't have any great objection but don't see valid reason for change.

 * Update - Guys, I may have messed up a bit. Above I said that the recipes that dominate google search results are largely types of Bombe glacée, often just called bombes or bomb. However, I just made more of an effort than just looking at the pictures and noticed that the dishes that the recipes are about are instead much more diverse. It seems that it's instead just pretty tempting to call any dish that is round an filled with chocolate as a "bomb" -- it is, after all, a fairly exciting (and I guess accurate) description. I don't know if that changes anything, but it does make me a bit more comfortable in saying that the current state of the article with a hatnote is fine.--Yaksar (let's chat) 15:25, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment There are enough resources to cite notability of chocolate bomb, the firecracker. Not a candidate for PROD or AfD. Regarding the move, I think hatnote is fine. BengaliHindu (talk) 07:30, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Contemporary Parlance
The more common Western English usage of "Chocolate Bomb" in recent years refers to chocolate globes filled with cocoa mix and mini marshmallows.

This is not the same as the disambiguated Bombe glacée.
