Hyper–Rayleigh scattering optical activity → Hyper–Rayleigh scattering – The page was briefly moved to the proposed title by on grounds of conciseness. I believe it was the proper title (as it was concise, felt natural, and would likely be the common name) and the current title is not concise and no better than the original title it was published under. Therefore the move to the current title should be undone. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 01:54, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I moved it correctly, then restored to a longer title through a series of misclicks. I do support the WP:LOWERCASE and WP:CONCISE move proposed above, and it was my original intention. Vycl1994 (talk) 20:40, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Conflicting source suggests ambiguity in nomenclature
A 1991 Physical Review Letters article (Clays, K. and Persoons, A. Phys. Rev. Lett. 1991, 66 (23), 2980-2983, https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.66.2980) reports observation of this phenomenon, while the Wikipedia article states that it was not observed until 2019. It is possible that the Wikipedia article and the Phys. Rev. Lett. article refer to different, but related, phenomena that are called by the same name. For instance, the article specifies that a chiral substrate is required for the effect, while the Phys. Rev. Lett. article refers to non-centro-symmetric but achiral substrates.
