Proposal to split article
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result of the discussion was to split. – BrandonXLF (talk) 08:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
The said Wikipedia article comments on 2 different processes with the same name. As they have very different reagents, conditions and products it would be more suitable to have them as 2 separate articles, rather than one. New article could be named Dow's Process (organic chemistry). Adding Split template.
- Agree. This would clarify the information. I5-X600K (talk) 20:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. the proposal is problematic because Dow Inc. (and predecessors) is a huge chemical company with many processes associated with it. According to Google, the "dow process reaction" is normally considered to be the reaction between chlorine and caustic soda to give HOCl although the latter's Wikipedia article doesn't mention that name. Given the possible confusion, would it be better to split the articles (which I Support) but make their content fit somewhere else? Making a section in bromine and in phenol seems more sensible to me — and they may already mention these processes, I haven't checked.... Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
