Moved to Beta-amylase as least-worst option, and is most consistent with the closest related consensus-based title, Alpha-amylase. bd2412 T 19:01, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

B-amylase → β-amylase – The enzyme's name is beta-amylase[1] not b-amylase. This can be written more pleasantly β-amylase which is my suggested title; β-amylase is currently a redirect to amylase but should not be. To the best of my knowledge and the source given, b-amylase is just wrong, although is probably a good redirect. User:GKFX^talk 20:30, 10 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

• A page mover can't do it, β-amylase is on the title blacklist. Sam Sailor 22:02, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
• It would be clearer with Beta amylase or beta-amylase -- 70.51.45.46 (talk) 05:22, 11 November 2018 (UTC)]
• Support either Beta amylase or Beta-amylase or β-amylase. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:22, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
• Per WP:NCCHEM#Prefixes in titles, the recommended name is beta-Amylase – cf. beta-Carotene, beta-Endorphin, beta-Carboline. The current title is plain wrong, however. No such user (talk) 19:13, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

  And, on the other hand, its sister article is at Alpha-amylase, where it was moved in 2012 per Talk:Alpha-amylase#Move?, citing WP:CONSISTENCY with other articles in Category:Enzymes. We seem to have contradicting guidance and practice. No such user (talk) 08:21, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
