1-Hydroxymethyl-LSD → OML-632 – I am the author of this article and tried this move on my own already. However, the move was reverted by another user who cited WP:RMUM on the basis that the move was undiscussed and that the new title was an acronym that most users would not recognize. This same user also seems to be watching my moves and repeatedly reverting them if they can find a reason no matter how trivial (see also here). Anyway, "OML-632" is not an acronym—it is the formal developmental code name of the drug at Sandoz where it was synthesized, whereas "1-hydroxymethyl-LSD" is one of multiple possible chemical names of the drug (another such chemical name is "1-oxymethyl-LSD"). Typically on Wikipedia in drug-related articles, we use the developmental code names rather than chemical names as the titles of articles for investigational drugs. Moreover, "OML-632" / "OML632" have significantly more hits than "1-hydroxymethyl-LSD" in the literature per Google Books and Google Scholar searches. Finally, many other analogues or related drugs in the same series use the Sandoz developmental code name for the article title rather than a chemical name, including LAE-32, ALA-10, MLA-74, LME-54, ALD-52, LBB-66, LPD-824, MPD-75, and LSM-775. The articles in this area should follow the same naming scheme for consistency. Some exceptions include LSD (LSD-25) and ergine (LA-111), which are reasonable cases due to these compounds having other far-better-known names. Thank you.
