– Consistency with the subcategories and the other articles in Category:Chemical compounds by element, such as Argon compounds and its parallel Category:Argon compounds. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 05:05, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Compounds of aluminium → Aluminium compounds
 * Compounds of carbon → Carbon compounds
 * Compounds of fluorine → Fluorine compounds
 * Compounds of lead → Lead compounds
 * Compounds of oxygen → Oxygen compounds
 * Compounds of palladium(III) → Palladium(III) compounds
 * Compounds of thorium → Thorium compounds
 * Compounds of zinc → Zinc compounds
 * Support all. I'm all for consistency, and the old format will still get searchers to the right place via redirects. Mdewman6 (talk) 16:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. Starting the article titles with the element rather that "compounds" is better for searches. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support all per the above two. Double sharp (talk) 06:41, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support all Same reason as the above. Keresluna (talk) 16:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Start with a plan

 * This article seems to be a well-intentioned but pile of random stuff and factoids. I mean: read the first paragraph. Readers expect to see organized plan for COMPOUNDS, not alloys, not reactions, not electron configuration, not Al metal. Why not start with a plan, then fill it in.  Greenwood and Earshaw is a good starting point, perhaps.  Another possible plan is below, but we need to start with a plan.
