The contents of the Colza oil page were
merged into
Rapeseed oil on 15 June 2022 and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see
its history.
merge with canola?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The article shoudl be nerged with something, because the statements are... at least off if not wrong: I clicked the links and it clearly takes me to rapeseed oil in other languages, which then takes me to rapeseed and not "colza". I think both species should be under the same page and the difference explained.
This mess has existed since the Canola article was created. The underlying problem is that North America and some other countries use 'canola' as a genericized term for *all* edible rapeseed oil, and think everything else is poisonous stuff used to lubricate steam engines. If you can be bothered to plough through the talk archives you'll find endless arguments with no meeting of minds at all. --

Definitely all the same thing. The word for "rapeseed" across all of Latin America in Spanish or Portuguese is "canola" or "colza", and all supermarkets where I live in Colombia sell "aceite de canola" as rapeseed oil. The UK usually uses the word "rapeseed" instead and supermarkets there sell "rapeseed oil".

Merge One article would be beneficial and both articles would benefit from this. But let's not forget about industrial oils. They deserve a specific spot somewhere, whether or not the spot is inside their own article or not.
These are the four viable options I see.
Not do anything (though it seems like the merge is wanted)
Combine all articles into the one existing rapeseed article
Create two articles, for example rapeseed oil (cooking) and rapeseed oil (industrial)
Create one article, for example rapeseed oil, that encompasses all rapeseed oils
Thank you for your comments. It would be good to get input from other American editors, as they do seem to be the source of opposition to sorting this out in what others think is a logical and sensible fashion. See this archived discussion from a decade ago:
/info/en/?search=Talk:Canola_oil/Archive_2#North_American_POV (to be fair, the Canola article has been substantially improved since then.) --
