[edit] Move to Napa cabbage

This type of cabbage is better known in English as Napa cabbage and not as Baechu. Does anyone object to a move to "Napa cabbage"? If not I'll put in an admin move request.Sjschen (talk) 18:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Probably move it to Chinese cabbage for now, as that article currently exists. "Baechu" isn't English. One thing to note: "napa" is shorter, while "celery cabbage" is longer. Badagnani (talk) 23:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't care what it's named, but this specific type of cabbage, used for making kimchi, should have its own page. It's a certain type of Chinese cabbage, just like Chinese cabbage is a type of cabbage and cabbage is a type of vegetable. Each should have its own page. This is especially true because baechu (or Napa cabbage) is not what most people think of when they say "Chinese cabbage," which usually means the thinner, darker bok choy, at least in the United States.

I agree that this should not be moved to Chinese cabbage since this specific cultivar is too distinctive to be lumped in there, that and the Chinese cabbage article is a bit of a mess IMHO. I simply think that we should move this to "Napa cabbage". Since that name is already a redirect page, an admin move would be required. Sjschen (talk) 00:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

If there are no objections in the next few days I'll request the move Sjschen (talk) 03:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
