On 15 April 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from 1,1-Dichloroethene to 1,1-Dichloroethylene. The result of the discussion was moved.

Article name[edit]

I think this article should be renamed as 1,1-dichloroethylene (to match with trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, and not to be confused with 1,1-dichloroethane) or vinylidene chloride (common name). ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 19:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support changing it to vinylidene chloride. It's the synonym that NIOSH uses and Ullman's Encyclopedia points to it in its chapter title. Plus it would help as checking the article I saw that the lethal dose is using the value for 1,1-dichloroethane as you pointed out. Recon rabbit 17:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
