The result of the move request was: not moved as proposed. Purex to become a dab page. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Vpab15 ( talk) 17:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Purex (laundry detergent) → Purex – Currently, Purex is a redirect targeted at PUREX, an abbreviation for "plutonium uranium reduction extraction". As far as I know, that abbreviation is mostly used with all-uppercase letters rather than in mixed case, although mixed case is sometimes used for it. However, "Purex" is well known as a brand of laundry detergent, so I think the laundry detergent should be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Purex". About half of the incoming links to "Purex" are errors. A web search for Purex mostly brings up the laundry detergent. There is also a brand of bathroom tissue mentioned in the Kruger Inc. article, but it doesn't seem as notable and the Kruger Inc. article barely mentions it. In terms of overall pageviews, the laundry detergent and the plutonium extraction process are about equally popular, but that mixes in the all-uppercase views, which is probably the vast majority for the plutonium extraction process. — BarrelProof ( talk) 20:06, 21 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.
