Look, among English speakers, people who look up encyclopaedia entries on Gaia theory are usually looking for information on theories about how life on Earth may regulate the Earth itself to make it more hospitable for life.
Most English speakers generally are not using this title to look for information on pre-1900s mystics (who *never* used the name Gaia theory), nor are they looking for info on radical European left-wing political acitivists (i.e. the Gaiains). If someone wants to link to articles on those topics, fine: We already have a working convention for this. We can create a disambiguation page, or use "See also". This is a convention that all of us have successfully used in the past; why now are so many people dead set against it?
Actually, I would hazard a guess that the most widely known occurence of "Gaia" is Isaac Asimov's portrayal of a highly-evolved, collective consciousness planet in the Foundation series. (How closely does Asimov follow Gaia theory?). We currently have two pages which mention both Gaia and Asimov, and the word Gaia isn't linked in either.
I would suggest that we move [[Gaia]] to [[Gaia (Mythology)]] and remove the material that isn't about the Greek Goddess, and make [[Gaia]] a disambiguation page which links to all relevant articles plus a new one about Asimov's Gaia.
