Α-Olefin sulfonateAlpha-olefin sulfonate – In-line with other examples such as Alpha-olefin. 'α' doesn't render properly in page titles. I did try to make the change myself but was blocked by a technical restriction Project Osprey (talk) 14:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha-olefin sulfonateΑ-Olefin sulfonate – Since the previous RM discussion (above), there has been discussion at WikiProject Chemicals about how to handle article titles for compounds with Greek letter prefixes and as a result the naming conventions were updated. Accordingly, this page should be moved to allow for use of {{lowercasetitle}} to properly display the title as α-Olefin sulfonate. I bring to RM since there was certainly past uncertainty about the name. If for some reason there is not support for the indicated move, a move should at least be made to the proper form of the current name, Alpha-Olefin sulfonate (prefixes are not capitalized, but must be for Wikipedia page names; the first non-prefix letter should be capitalized as well according to the naming conventions). Note: The proposed move target has a Greek capital alpha, not a Latin capital A; this is important for lowercasetitle to work properly.
