 * Oppose, Eggah and Kuku are not the same. --@Efrat (talk) 05:47, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I eat eggah all the time here in Egypt and from the description of Kuku I can't imagine why anyone would lump them together. Probably has more to do with someone's monolithic idea of the Middle East than any concept of reality. --197.34.235.234 (talk) 10:11, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose, this is not the same thing. These are similar but not the same things. I find it offensive that someone thinks they should be moved. That is like saying, should pizza and grilled cheese sandwich be merged? Both are cheese and bread, they are very similar... Jooojay (talk) 05:03, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Merging Eggah into Kuku would be like merging Frittata and Tortilla de patatas into Kuku. All are national variations of egg omelettes, but each very different.  First, I don't understand why Eggah (Arabic عجة ʻajjah) is part of WikiProject Iran.  Eggah ('ajjah, 'ijjah, ijee, 'ojja) comprise a wide variety of vegetable omelettes in Arabic speaking countries.  Eggah and Kuku, as commonly prepared (google recipes), are quite different.  The Lebanese version of Eggah is closer to an Italian Frittata adding modest quantities of vegetable and herbs.  Either eggplant, zucchini or cauliflower with some onion and parsley is common.  In Palestine, Eggah is more often made with just a bit of onion or scallion with parsley.  And in Tunisia, it is more scrambled with tomato and often meat.  Kuku, in contrast is a fairly standard dish prepared with leafy herbs such as parsley, dill, coriander, the green part of scallions and sometimes very finely chopped lettuce or spinach.  Not just one herb, but a combination of all are used together.  What's more, the amount of greens in a Kuku so greatly exceeds the amount of egg (eg, 1 kilogram of greens to 180 grams of egg) that the Kuku looks and tastes very different from Eggah.  --@Efrat (talk) 06:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support -- well, merging frittata, tortilla de patatas, eggah, and kuku (food) into a single article doesn't sound like a bad idea -- they are all dishes of vegetables (or other foods) bound into a 'cake' by eggs (unlike say omelette, which is primarily an egg dish, not a vegetable dish, but maybe that distinction is too fine...); on the other hand, restricting to eggah and kuku doesn't make much sense. Alas, national pride seems to prevent this sort of thing in general.... --Macrakis (talk) 18:21, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Eggah in Egypt is not a cake. More like a croquette. --197.34.235.234 (talk) 10:13, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
