The result of the move request was: no consensus. The main line of discussion here was WP:RECOGNIZABILITY, and participants were split on the question of whether the proposed title would be recognizable. (non-admin closure)  ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Aldol reaction →  – Aldol reaction (singular) refers to Aldol additions in English. While in other languages its referring to the general set of reactions. So for chemists who are fluent in English but it's not their first language (which is fairly common within Wikipedia chemistry) its caused some editing mistakes. The majority of the page is about aldol addition, but there were some sections about the overall pair of reaction which have since been moved to Aldol reactions. With only two mentions of aldol condensations kept where it explained how certain reaction conditions are necessary for Aldol additions (to avoid condensation).

text: Comment :Aldol reactions is likely unattributed in-wiki copy from :Aldol reaction. User:LoomCreek, if that's true, it's against wikipedia policy. DMacks (talk) 06:53, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @DMacks Oh shoot thank you for letting me know, I genuinely thought I had attributed it. There are sections from it LoomCreek (talk) 06:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This edit-summary is a good start. But important to also use  on each's talkpage. That way it's a permanently-visible marker (easy to overlook an edit-summary even before it gets pushed off the "most recent edits" of the history). DMacks (talk) 07:01, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose.  The "bible" of organic chemistry in the US, "MARCH’S ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY" 6th edition, mentions "Aldol reaction(s)" 190x.  Zero mention of aldol addition, even in the index.  I also have never heard the term. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a reference to the reaction type which is addition. It is most definitely used even if it's less formal. But it has the added benefit of making the distinction of itself from Aldol condensation much clearer. And I'll note it is used in literature, for example: Solvent Polarity and Framework Hydrophobicity of Hf-BEA Zeolites Influence Aldol Addition Rates in Organic Media --LoomCreek (talk) 02:08, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
