message: I opened a merge proposal with Mexican rice.  Both articles are talking about the same exact dish (at least they don't appear to indicate any difference between the two other than the name).  I proposed to merge "Mexican rice" into "Spanish rice" rather than the other way around because the term "Spanish rice" appears to be more popular on Google (421,000 vs. 197,000). —Umofomia (talk) 19:50, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Because they are the same dish, I agree that the articles should be merged. Since "Spanish Rice" seems to be the most common name, I mostly agree that the article should be called that, though it should be made clear in the article that this name, though common, is likely a misnomer.

replies: text: Seeing that there was no disagreement since I first proposed the merge more than two months ago, I have performed the merge. —Umofomia (talk) 00:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

message: i wrote the initial listing for Mexican rice.  I am referring to the rice served in various taquerias in San Francisco.  The rice may be slightly red due to addition of tomato or tomato paste.  Note that Chipotle Mexican restaurants use a rice that is not red at all, but that has some parsley in it.rich (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

:Spanish rice →  – Mexican rice is the more known and accurate name, since the dish is a mexican rice dish and not a spanish one. Kaidros (talk) 16:06, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

text: *That sounds like a good argument to put forth as a rationale, preferably with some evidence, but not something completely obvious and uncontroversial. I suggest that a discussion is needed. A merge in the other direction was discussed and performed in 2009. By the way, the Google Ngram viewer does not support the idea that "Mexican rice" is more common that "Spanish rice". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Funny, your third listed source that says they are different things is the same author, writing on the same website, as my first listed source that says they are the same thing. Maybe she learned something in the two years between those two articles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:33, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @BarrelProof, @Steel1943, Yes, didnt even realize that haha, but as i see it, most sites say the key difference is the uses of spices such as saffron which effects the dishes' coloring and flavor, and also the texture seems to be a characteristic that is pointed out to have a difference as well, in my opinion they can be seperate articles, but id love to get yalls input.
