On another note i think this page should be moved to MDMA and the Ecstasy(drug) page be used more as a list of substances sold as "ecstasy" including DXM/PMA/MDA/MDMA... and a way to tell them apart.

Would anyone oppose or agree if I move the page to MDMA?”

 

USER A

I oppose moving it to MDMA. Move to Methylene Dioxymethamphetamine (did ispell that right heh). Point the MDMA redirect to the full name. Then turn the Ecstasy (drug) into an article on whats sold as "ecstacy" on the street. I havent had the time to request the move

Moved Ecstasy (drug) to Methylenedioxymethamphetamine: chemicals belong at their proper chemical name.

 

USER C

Our policies say that we should use the most common name... why is this article at Methylenedioxymethamphetamine?

 

USER D

I would suggest the best peg to hang this article on would be MDMA.

 

USER E

September 2006

I would prefer it at Ecstasy (drug) or MDMA. I don't mind which. Anyone want to speak in defense of the article being at the name Methylenedioxymethampheamine?

 

USER F

I can't even say methylenedioxymethamphetamine - how can we expect that it could be the most common name (per WP:NC)? I won't argue that this and Ecstasy are different drugs - but, following this article's lead, we'd have to rename Codeine to 7,8- didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-ol! A perfect example of why the "most common name" convention is a key part.

The result of the debate was no move.

We must follow the WP policy on naming WP:NAME:

"Generally, article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize..."

This dictum rules out complicated chemical names.

It leaves only two options -- either MDMA or Ecstasy.

What is your choice?”
