Origin of Name
Why is the name taken from the Greek word for apple? Is it related to apples? JKeck (talk) 17:26, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't the Greek word be μηλο, i.e. apple? What's up right now as the word for apple doesn't really translate into anything...

Difluoromalonic acid
IP editor(s) have been adding a redlink for difluoromalonic acid by renaming the final section of the article "Related compounds" rather than "Salts and esters" for the first time here and then here and here (the current version). I have twice reverted these additions on the grounds 1) that there is no evidence this compound is any more notable than the thousands of other possible derivatives of malonic acid which don't have Wikipedia articles (although this one is in Wikidata); 2) that "related compounds" usually are linked from the Chembox; 3) that the edits which have been made contain external links (to Pubchem) in the body of the article text, so are not compliant with WP:EL.

I would have reverted this edit again but the IP editor left a detailed edit summary PubChem is authoritative but not as accessible at Wikipedia. It seems better to add this chemical in context to its parent than start a new page. This chemical has been subject of patents. It is also notable as potential PFAS. Not sure why you are discouraging a GFE? So they clearly they believe that being mentioned in patents and/or being a potential Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (a group already containing at least 4730 compounds according to our article) is enough justification for the mention. I disagree. What do others think? Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:57, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
