Sudden infant death syndrome → Template:No redirect – Like COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, MERS and SARS, this topic seems to be known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with this subject. The spelled-out term also seems like somewhat of a misnomer. A "syndrome" usually is a set of medical signs and symptoms, whereas this phenomenon has only one symptomTemplate:Snd death, and the name refers to a diagnosis of exclusion rather than an identification of a particular disease or medical condition. — BarrelProof (talk) 23:19, 7 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. >>> Extorc.talk 16:57, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom. People typically say SIDS and abbreviate it as such. Clovermoss (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

- Support SIDS is more common and widely understood. --Macrakis (talk) 19:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose on balance, both terms are present in almost all sources regarding this topic, and so we should continue to use the most informative title. I could give dozens of counter-examples to outweigh OP's short list of abbreviated topics, and I think an encyclopedia should maintain the formality of using expanded titles rather than shortcuts where both terms are used interchangeably. The only appropriate time to use an WP:ACRONYMTITLE is when the acronym is more dominant or used exclusively, and thats not the case for this topic. -- Netoholic @ 07:02, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
