Merger Proposal

I believe the article on Pearl Haricot is redundant given that this article (Navy bean) already exists - if anyone wants to weight in on this please comment on the Pearl Haricot talk page Fyddlestix (talk) 03:40, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Merger is complete Fyddlestix (talk) 16:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Text and/or other creative content from Pearl_Haricot was copied or moved into Navy_bean. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Other Proposed Edits

for the line... Cannellini (or fazolia,[2]), a variety popular in central and southern Italy, but was first developed in Argentina.[2] They are larger than navy beans, related to the kidney bean and, like the kidney bean, has higher levels of the toxic lectin phytohaemagglutinin.[citation needed] They are used in minestrone soups.[2]

remove... and, like the kidney bean, has higher levels of the toxic lectin phytohaemagglutinin.[citation needed] --First, this is just a random tidbit on a similar bean --doesn't add anything to discussion of topic. Second, lectins are mostly neutralized through normal preparation of beans; also, lectins in small quantities may inhibit cancer in the GI tract --but, again, isn't this all beyond the scope of the topic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.138.123 (talk) 15:07, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-neutral article name =

Seriously? Nobody outside America calls these "Navy Beans". Why is the article so Ameri-centric? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.101.206 (talk) 22:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While it doesn't say that these beans come from the USA per se, the article does say that the bean is "native to the Americas"... Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Other white beans

This section is about members of the Phaseolus vulgaris family that are not navy beans (or haricot beans, or whatever). The only characteristic they share with navy/haricot beans is that they are the same colour.

The article on Cucumber doesn't have a section on "Other squashes"; I don't think this article should have such a section either. Apart from anything else, it's confusing; it makes it look as if those larger beans are types of navy bean. Instead, readers can go to Phaseolus vulgaris, which is linked from the first sentence of the lede, and which contains fuller descriptions of these beans anyway.

I intend to delete the section. MrDemeanour (talk) 13:52, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
