:Limpa → {{no redirect|Vörtbröd}} – As per discussion. Limpa means loaf. This bread is called vörtbröd. The top image is however not depicting a vörtbröd but some other kind of bread.

• Oppose per WP:NCUE unless there is other evidence showing that the proposed term is the WP:COMMONNAME in English. The image can be corrected if necessary, but the sources for this article suggest that "limpa" is the term used in English regardless of whether the term is correct in Swedish. Note that before a few edits ago, the beginning of the article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Limpa&diff=prev&oldid=1137007251 explained this correctly], stating "Limpa (Swedish for loaf) is a sweet Scandinavian rye bread, associated with Swedish cuisine" but not arguing that this word is used to refer to this kind of bread in Swedish. The first cite on that sentence also backs up this usage in English. Dekimasuよ! 13:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
• Support. I've never encountered the term limpa in English (or seen this type of bread sold in the UK where I spent a couple of years), but the Swedish word basically means loaf and is used for this shape and size for any type of bread. (See [https://www.saob.se/artikel/?seek=limpa&pz=1 Here] is SAOB for etymology.) Shortening vörtlimpa (which today would be a more informal designation than vörtbröd) to limpa therefore simply isn't correct, since it no longer indicates the type of bread, only the shape. But it could be used in everyday talk, such as "do you want another slice of the limpa?", when you don't need to specify the type of bread. It seems obvious that the newspaper sources in the article haven't understood this distinction. The lead could include vörtlimpa as a synonym to indicate this.

• Oppose: sourcing appears to indicate a common English usage of limpa to describe this type of bread. While the specific type of bread has a far more accurate name in its native Swedish, the American English word for this seems to now be the generic limpa. The limited academic sourcing appears to support this. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
