Talk:Alcohols (medicine)

Infobox
The infobox has a lot of content about ethanol and is titled as such, but this article is really more general. Sizeofint (talk) 04:16, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * And also the header. Are we sure this can't be a section inside alcohol? Sizeofint (talk) 01:55, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I just refocused the article on ethanol. Sizeofint (talk) 02:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As a WHO Essential medicine it deserves its own article. The topic about ethanol being a drug is much much bigger. Also this article is not exclusively about ethanol. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:21, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Also this article is not exclusively about ethanol. How do you want to handle the infobox then? Use Infobox drug class? Sizeofint (talk) 22:48, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Have added a caption. Some of it should be changed. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 03:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Rename?
Maybe this page should be named something like Alcohols in medicine, to make it clearer that this isn't about alcoholic beverages. (Please ping me if you need a reply.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I concur. I think I'm going to be bold and do just that. oknazevad (talk) 20:43, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Alcohol (medicine) was clearer and is the format used for stuff that is also used as a medication. This is not about alcohol and the medical system. Moving back. Could try a IN:RM Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 13:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This was the (informal) RM. IN:NOTBURO and all that. The problem with the current title is is looks like it's about a medicine named "alcohols", not about the use of alcohols in the field of medicine. The discussed title was superior and there was no reason to move it back. oknazevad (talk) 06:24, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
