Talk:Stearate

Replace with redirect?
Let's just make it a redirect to stearic acid. I don't see any need for a separate article on the anion. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 16:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

(Seven years later!). Agreed. The value of separate article is limited and is not how most other organic acids are treated (for example citric acid and citrate, hexanoic acid and hexanoate). A discussion at WT:WikiProject_Chemicals suggesting that this and similar articles be merged with their parent acid has led to this being done, at least in the less controversial cases and I will be doing so for this article soon.

✅ The article has been merged and its title now redirects to stearic acid. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 13:57, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
