Talk:Acetol

Wrong redirect target
Acetol is not aspirin, and should not redirect to aspirin. Acetol is 1-Hydroxy-2-propanone, a completely different compound. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.23.203.2 (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2013‎ (UTC)
 * Aspirin and 1-hydroxy-2-propanone are both apparently known by the name "acetol". We have an aspirin article, but until there is an article for some other meaning as well, the redirect goes to the only relevant article we have. The guideline is that we do not create lists of possible meanings, only links for existing articles. It's all moot though, because now we do have an article for the other chemical you mention, so now "acetol" is a directory of these options. DMacks (talk) 08:04, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks now like there is again only one article. So is a disambiguation page necessary? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:02, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. E.g. "Acetal" is mentioned on that huge list of acetylsalicylic acid trade names as well, by we won't make a disambiguation page for it. —Mykhal (talk) 18:18, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
