Talk:ragù bolognese

ragù napoletano
Arguably SOP in Italian. Although the particularities are not clear from the terms themselves, one can gather that it is "ragù (in the style of the) Bolognese/Neapolitans" (see a similar argument at Talk:High German consonant shift [once it's archived there at least]). In any case, it's material better suited to a cookbook than a dictionary. Imetsia (talk) 01:09, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Question. Does the same SOP reasoning apply to ? --Lambiam 07:42, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Probably. But note that also has the definition of " made from minced veal, pork and beef, onions, garlic, tomato, bay leaf, carrot and celery and wine." So, as I see it, it's SOP either way. Now that I look at it, the Italian entry for  also has this "of a pasta sauce" definition - and that's probably an even stronger argument that  is SOP. Imetsia (talk) 15:47, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, people in Bologna can do Neapolitan ragù as well, this just as SOP as Neapolitan chord, Russian roulette or American dream. On the other hand, it's the Italian entry for that should not have an "of a pasta sauce" definition, which would be like having an "of a dream" definition under American.

RFD discussion: August 2023–May 2024
Italian SOP. I would delete all of them. But our decisions on this forum have been inconsistent. We decided to delete and  by a vote of 4-0; but decided to keep  and  by no consensus (1-1). We should at least be internally consistent with these entries, which is why I'm reopening this RFD discussion so soon after it was closed.

I would argue that the latter two entries are clearly SOP with, and the former two entries are clearly SOP with (sense 2). Furthermore, you can have "pasta bolognese," "spaghetti bolognese," etc. It's not limited to "ragù bolognese." Imetsia (talk (more ) ) 14:27, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * RFD-closed. Didn't generate the sort of discussion that I was hoping for. Imetsia (talk (more ) ) 15:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
