Iupac nomenclature is clearly short for IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry and reflects the fact that people don't always type all-caps when searching. {{no redirect|IUPAC nomenclature}} (all-caps) already redirects to IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry and this change would bring the uncapitalized version into alignment with the all-caps version. {{no redirect|Iupac nomenclature}} currently redirects to chemical nomenclature which is a broader topic than the IUPAC standards. While some people may say chemical nomenclature when they specifically mean IUPAC, readers who type in Iupac nomenclature should be directed to the article for which that is shorthand. Please note, there was a brief merge discussion at Talk:International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry#Merge proposal where it was determined that IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry should be kept and improved. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 22:05, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Note that I corrected the current target of the redirect above from IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry to Chemical nomenclature. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:46, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
:*Just edit this to redirect to IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry as the more natural target. This discussion was not needed I think! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:00, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry, agreed that this discussion is probably not needed. Glad to see there's clear direction for the target article to mature as a broad, parent article. ⇌ Synpath 00:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
:* Yes. Retarget. No discussion needed.
