Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonistGLP-1 receptor agonist – The majority of scholarly sources don't seem to be spelling out the name, per Google Scholar results since 2019:

  • GLP-1 agonist: 4,000
  • GLP-1 receptor agonist: 10,600
  • "Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist" 9700
  • "Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist": 900

Thus, I think it meets WP:ACROTITLE for using an acronym in the title, and I also think that GLP-1 is more recognizable to our readership than the spelled out name. I would also support "GLP-1 agonist" if that's what the consensus goes for, as this term is used in many sources aimed at a popular audience (see Google search or news results).

Support - following Wikipedia:ACROTITLE . But just a comment that related pages are not moved yet. See Glucagon-like peptide-1 and Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor Hongsy (talk) 02:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's not necessarily the case that they need or should be the same, after all we have Central Intelligence Agency but CIA controversies. I think the other articles need evaluating on their own merits especially since they are of more scientific /less popular interest than this article. (t · c) buidhe 02:52, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
