Criegee intermediateCarbonyl oxide – While carbonyl oxides have long been referred to as "Criegee intermediates" due to their initial discovery by Rudolf Criegee, carbonyl oxide is their correct chemical name. Further, Rudolf Criegee was a Nazi sympathizer. (see https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Vow_of_allegiance_of_the_Professors_of_the_German_Universities_and_High-Schools_to_Adolf_Hitler_and_the_National_Socialistic_State). There is a growing movement amongst carbonyl oxide experts to move away from the Criegee intermediate terminology and toward the more correct carbonyl oxide naming convention. 2601:184:4080:4020:517A:55AF:494A:86B9 (talk) 15:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Firstly, per WP:COMMONNAME we don't use "official" or "correct" names over other commonly used names unless most reliable sources do so. The IP's 2nd point is completely irrelevant, and I didn't find any evidence to support the final point after few minutes on Google. IffyChat -- 14:57, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, people proposing a move are expected to provide convincing evidence, but none has been provided by the proposer. Criegee's alleged political views are irrelevant.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
