Thats all nice and good, but what does "western-English-culture-centric" nomenclature have to do with NPOV?
It doesn't. My point is that you're trying to stretch NPOV to the exclusion of other policy.
How is the literal application of subordinate policy "excluded" by the basic application of a superior policy? NPOV trumps even WP:Civility, IIRC, and my own editing often reflects this principled deference.
I am afraid that I am going to have to ask you to agree to disagree on this point.
I do not believe that Wikipedia can survive on NPOV alone, or NPOV raised on a pillar above all other policies and common sense.
I suspect that general consensus agrees with me on this point.
[[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]]. Excerpt:
Please do not quote a style guide in the context of a policy issue.
That is not a style guide; it's an official policy.
Your desire that it not be is evident, but that's your opinion, not an accurate reflection of existing policy in my opinion.
