74: 53: 22: 248:) to refer to identifying the location of substituents in organic molecules. The current locant article focuses on the IUPAC-favored numeric system, but it stands to reason the Greek letter locants favored in the common system should be discussed in the same article. So, while the resulting article will still have much room for improvement, a merge (as originally suggested by 146: 244:, there really should be a title that collectively refers to both α-carbons and β-carbons. The current title is even more inappropriate given that the article also discusses gamma carbon, alpha hydrogen, and beta hydrogen, begging for a more encompassing title. While not a very commonly used term, the best term does appear to be "locant", and is used by IUPAC (see the 252:) will resolve the title issue at Alpha carbon and beta carbon and discuss them in a broader context. Open to other ideas, but it seems like a merge is at least an improvement over the long-standing poor status quo. 302: 124: 114: 307: 297: 90: 174: 81: 58: 284:
