Talk:Corylus avellana

message: There is considerable overlap and duplication with Hazel. There is unique content here about the Hazel nut. I am therefore proposing that the content about the plant, its description and taxonomy be moved to Hazel and the text about the nut be moved back to Hazelnut. This page would then become a disambiguation page. Any views ? (This text is also posted on the Hazel page) Velela 20:20, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Opposite problem. This page is specifically about C. avellana but more of its content should be duplicated on the generic Hazel page since this is the most commercially important and (afaik?) most common species. People shouldn't have to guess and click over to here to see some of the more important information (e.g. about Turkey's centrality to hazelnut production). — LlywelynII 22:37, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

message: There is nothing specially healthful per se about oleic acids.  The reference to 'diabetic fibers' seems meaningless.  The comment of 'a unique and ideal food' is not supported.Ykral (talk) 02:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I undid the move for the following reasons
* It was moved without discussion, despite the fact that the naming convention favoured the current (and previous) name
* It was moved to a weird compound name that isn't actually used.

message: This page says Turkey is the largest hazelnut producer in the world by a wide margin, specifically its Giresun Province, but its article calls it the country's 2nd-largest producer without clarifying who #1 is. In any case, it's in Pontus. We should mention the area and the weirdness thatdespite apparently being at the very fringes of this plant's distributionit's been so central to its production that a large part of the world's words for hazel and hazelnut ultimately derive from the ancient Greek for Pontic nut. Even moreso that they were apparently so common that they make up Iberian languages' words for meatballs and a large part of Africa's words for long guns, derived from Arabic use of 'hazelnut' for crossbow and sling pellets and early bullets. — LlywelynII 22:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
