Β-Butyrolactone → Beta-Butyrolactone – Although initial Greek letters are sometimes accepted in chemistry-related article titles, this title is inconsistent with related compounds such as Gamma-Butyrolactone and Beta-Propiolactone, which use the spelled-out letter name. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 10:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Comment I would prefer the English language word over the Greek letter due to the fonts issue, especially with search results. However, didn't WPCHEMICALS propose to move all English-word titles to Greek-letter titles?

Oppose. Why not instead move these other titles in line with the WP:CHEMPREFIX naming convention? SilverLocust 💬 18:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I was moving several of these chemical pages the other day without realizing that one of them was Beta-Propiolactone (mentioned above). Just noting that in case anyone objects. SilverLocust 💬 06:27, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opppose per WP:CHEMPREFIX, which is clear on the matter and based on consensus from previous discussion. I am slowly working on bringing articles like these in line, just haven't got to the other ones mentioned here yet. But per SilverLocust, the other ones are the ones that need to be moved, not this one. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
