Merge?

I just don't see the point of having this and List of Burger King products as two separate articles; why not merge the latter into the former? Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 04:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This was already split from that article because of size issues several years ago. Putting it back into the main article would make it too large. Additionally, the main article is about the business side of the menu – its development, deployment and the logistical side of Burger King's business, while this list is about the actual products. I'm taking the tags off. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - One of the article's titles should be different then; they don't sound too similar to you? Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 07:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Again, massively discussed. This was the best option. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 16:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes, but consensus can change. And Wikipedia guidelines are definitely much tighter now than they were several years ago. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 05:33, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of points:

Please read WP:Article size, the combined article would be too large.
The BK products articles is about the development, preparation and history of the products in general, this article is about the individual products specifically.
This article is the result of a merge of the individual articles.
This is a list, the other is an article, they should be separate.
I do not consider the names to be confusing.

I hope this addresses the reasoning why a merger is not apropriate. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cooking method section

The egg preparation method should be noted somehow, somewhere. The broiler cooking appliance doesn't lend itself to making the scrambled egg omelets used in the croissants and biscuits. At first, a steam table insert pan was placed over a fryer with the bottom contacting the hot oil. This created a surrogate griddle for scrambled eggs. The eggs were poured into the pan in a thin layer, cooked, then cut into rectangular strips. On the sandwich, the eggs were easily identified by their thin, folded presentation.

Circa 2000, the eggs were changed to a pre-cooked, frozen omelet product that is heated in the microwave. These eggs can be identified today by their round shape in the sandwich. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.162.104 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 14 November 2014

The first part is true, the second not. The eggs were pre-cooked, however they were cooked in the convection oven not the microwave oven. They were not round, the were rectangular and they were folded just like the old style fresh cooked ones. Currently the company uses a dedicated appliance to cook eggs. At no point, in North America, were the eggs round. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:44, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the GA criteria, because much of the information has not been updated since it passed its GAN in 2011. The article also has some uncited statements in it. Is anyone interested in updating the article, or should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 16:58, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is missing lots of post-2011 information, which is when this article was promoted to GA status. It also has lots of uncited text. Z1720 (talk) 00:17, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
