Unnecessary "Euro" before template's name! Magioladitis (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is the old title of the template and was used on 1000s of pages. If it is deleted, when anyone goes and looks at the history of a page there will be a dead link where this template appeared. --Philip Stevens (talk) 15:50, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * By checking the history I see that "Euro ..." that was deleted and redirected to the original template instead of just deleted, probably because of a few uses it has back in 2006. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's correct, but it was more than a few uses. Every serving UK MP was linked to it. --Philip Stevens (talk) 12:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And why to keep the redirect then? The edit history of the template is already deleted. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Taelus  ( Talk ) 19:12, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep&mdash;this template redirect is harmless and will help historic revisions of pages appear correctly. –Grondemar
 * Keep - Harmless really. Deleting it'll do&mdash;slightly&mdash;more harm than good, per Philip Stevens, Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  10:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Retarget to Fatty alcohol per Bridgeplayer. Straightforward. ~  Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 03:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Two different chemicals, with different molecular formulae. One is an alcohol and the other is a carboxylic acid. While they are closely related, this is not sufficient grounds for a redirect from one to this other, which only causes confusion. Stubify or delete, I don't care which.

 * → Tetratriacontanoic acid (links to redirect • [ history] • )
 * Retarget to Fatty alcohol where it is described. In truth, such straightforward retargetting could simply be carried out as an editorial action. Only if such a retargetting is resisted do we need a discussion, here. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:33, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
