Proposal to move to Chromium(III) fluoride[edit]

I am suggesting this article be moved for consistency sake with Chromium(II) fluoride and Chromium(IV) fluoride.

To start, I will initially ask for the opinion of @Double sharp: on this issue; there isn't really that much that needs to be said here in my opinion. What do you think? I am not setting up a public review because I feel that is a small decision, I just don't want to make it alone. This same logic also applies to Chromium pentafluoride and chromium hexafluoride.

I agree that this one should be chromium(III) fluoride, as it is predominantly ionic. However, WP:NCCHEM indicates that Stock nomenclature should not be used for compounds with a substantial degree of covalency. Hence I think CrF₅ and the hypothetical CrF₆ ought to be left where they are. BTW, CrF₄ has a rather low melting point and perhaps ought to be titled chromium tetrafluoride as well.
