The name of the group is still the Old Ones (The Marvel Fact Files confirmed the Old Ones over the Many-Angled Ones, considered as a simple alias), and it has been used since Realm of Kings, (three time for the Old Ones including the Marvel Fact Files, once for the Great Old Ones). The name also has more significance regarding the Lovecraft influence in Marvel. Given this, per my understanding, Many-Angled Ones should be turned into a redirect to Old Ones. Indeed, that's the final step of the process (and in that regard, the deletag was more to stop the linking to them).

While I'm at it, it seems that some people now tends to assimilate "Many-Angled Ones" with "any creatures with big eyes and tentacles". How would we define what counts and doesn't count as an Old One, then? Marvel's assortment of Old Ones are either directly lifted from, homages to, or otherwise inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, but even that doesn't provide us with much of a definition given how vague Lovecraft was beyond them being reality-breaking extra-dimensional alien god-monsters that are beyond human comprehension.
