[[:DAM-57]] → {{no redirect|Dimethyllysergamide}} – Dimethyllysergamide is a more appropriate name for the article, & DAM-57 could redirect to it. DAM-57 is simply an acronym for the name Dimethyllysergamide, but Dimethyllysergamide is the actual name of the compound. Likewise, the article for LSD is not titled LSD, but rather Lysergic acid diethylamide (and LSD redirects to it). Furthermore, the only reason I was unable to move the page myself is because the page [[Dimethyllysergamide]] already existed…however, I’m the one who created it (by mistake; I copy-&-paste moved it, & then was informed by another user about the proper way to move a page, via the ‘move’ function, whilst preserving page history). Otherwise, I’d just move it myself. [[User:Psychonaut25|Psychonaut25]] – [[User talk: Psychonaut25|13375p34k]] / [[Special:Contributions/Psychonaut25|C0n7r1b5]] 18:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

[[:Dimethyllysergamide]] → {{no redirect|DAM-57}} – “DAM-57” is the Sandoz developmental code name of the drug and is much more commonly used in the literature than the chemical name “dimethyllysergamide” (which is one of multiple different possible chemical names, others being “N,N-dimethyllysergamide” and “lysergic acid dimethylamide”). Per Google Scholar search results, “DAM-57” (with some disambig terms) gets 39 results ([https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22DAM-57%22+OR+%22DAM57%22+LSD+OR+lysergic&btnG=]), while “dimethyllysergamide” gets 8 results ([https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Dimethyllysergamide%22+LSD+OR+lysergic&btnG=]). In relation to the preceding, “DAM-57″ is the common/trivial name of the compound. Moreover, 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. 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.

Dimethyllysergamide → DAM-57DAM-57 – “DAM-57” is the Sandoz developmental code name of the drug and is much more commonly used in the literature than the chemical name “dimethyllysergamide” (which is one of multiple different possible chemical names, others being “N,N-dimethyllysergamide” and “lysergic acid dimethylamide”). Per Google Scholar search results, “DAM-57” (with some disambig terms) gets 39 results ([1]), while “dimethyllysergamide” gets 8 results ([2]). In relation to the preceding, “DAM-57” is the common/trivial name of the compound. Moreover, 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. 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.
