Assessed as a low importance start. Well cited could very easily be a B rated article with a little more work.
As a Portuguese national living in the US and having the pleasure of eating both the Pastel de Nata and Egg Custard, merging these threads makes no sense. They have not much in common except for the use of egg as an ingridient. If this thread is merged then, with the same logic, most threads in Wikipedia should merge.
As a Portuguese living abroad, having tasted both. no way one has nothing to do with the other. It's like all individual flags should be merged in to flags. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.242.188.130 (talk) 08:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
i completely disagree with the merging of the custart tart with egg tart. i have made the egg tart and it tastes completely different.
I think the idea of merging Egg tart and Pastel de nata into this article is a good one. I don't see that there's been any discussion, at least not recently. Perhaps others have some thoughts? JoeSperrazza (talk) 14:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think merging the articles back together is a good idea. Yes,also each of the terms refer to a distinct item of food. Of course an overview article would useful, however readers are likely to search for a particular type of tart, and it's therefore in everyone's best interests to let them read what they've searched for.

Other solution: the egg tart page should be integrated in the pastel de nata page and redirections should be established, since the information presented in there refers to the introduction of the 蛋挞 in Asia and its origins and relation with the Portuguese pastry.
It's the same information repeated in two pages: actually, the 挞 character was chosen in Macau to name this pastry because its sound is very similar to the syllable ta of the Portuguese word nata and the 蛋 character, meaning "egg", which also has the similar sound of the first syllable na together with the preposition de. So the original name ("pastel de nata") should be preserved in the title's page and not the name that mentions one ingredient of the pastry — "egg tart".
Therefore, the redirections would be 蛋挞/蛋撻/dàntà/egg tart => Pastel de Nata/Pastéis de Nata, and the link from the former (the custard tart link) be placed in the latter. InforGatherer (talk) 06:48, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the egg tart article be merged back into the more general article on Custard tart, reversing the earlier splitting of the articles. The name "egg tart" is used internationally as a synonym of "custard tart". It is not restricted to Chinese versions as has been pointed out numerous times in the talk pages of these articles. Neither are the Chinese versions notably different from the original European dishes. They can be mentioned as variants, rather than be separate articles. It's a very common colonial dish, found pretty much throughout the range of Portuguese, Spanish, French, and British colonies. Not just China.
Pastel de nata could also be merged, at least partially, as a national variant, given that the Chinese egg tarts originate from them. Though I don't feel as strongly about this as I do about egg tart which is an actual English name.
Another solution is to redirect Egg tarttoCustard tart, redirect Chinese egg tarts into Pastel de nata, and then list Pastel de nata under Custard tart. That would fix the mess that these articles are in now.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 11:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OPPOSE merging Pastel de Nata. These are very distinct desserts. This would be like merging flan and creme brulee. - AKeen (talk) 02:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Each of these are distinct desserts. ingredient may be the same in some cases, but the techniques used are different. NAT/HBA.YYZ/MA.WAW/PHDABD.CDG 08:04, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support it is clear that there's a mess in too many articles to the same thing with slightly differences/variations. Then it's reasonable the proposal "redirect Egg tarttoCustard tart, redirect Chinese egg tarts into Pastel de nata", even though there're minor differences between them, they can be included as sections of an article called Custard tart, this article would need improvement, of course, avoiding to affirm the exact origin but noting the variates that popped up throughout the history. The most tradicional worldwide spread out kind that survived until these days is Pastel de Nata, most of the variations spread out nowadays are based in Portuguese recipe, so these variations could be mentioned in Pastel de Nata article and so the Custard tart article would be more general to tell the history and those kinds of Custard/egg tart not as famous worldwide as the Portuguese custard tart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.107.150.86 (talk) 03:34, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Egg Custard and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 28#Egg Custard until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. eviolite (talk) 16:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
