Aluminium monohydroxide → Aluminium(I) hydroxide – This is the only member of Category:Hydroxides that uses a prefix in front of hydroxide, and rare oxidation state variants such as aluminium(I) oxide are typically disambiguated using stock nomenclature. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 23:46, 5 August 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. — Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 11:22, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

not support it appears that the aluminium monohydroxide or aluminum monohydroxide term is very rare, and mostly it is talking about boehmite. Aluminium(I) hydroxide appears to be even more rarely used, and the most common use appears to be AlOH. In a similar vein calcium monohydroxide is more commonly referred to as CaOH —— but that has become a redirect to the dihydroxide. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:55, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NCCHEM: "Stock nomenclature should only be used for ionic compounds." As a molecular compound, this should use stoichiometric nomenclature. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:27, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
