Without devolving into flames and calls for banning, could you please 
answer the following questions?

a) What's wrong with having three articles (overview, specific on 
Lovelock, specific on Margulis)?

and

b) What terminology would you recommend, and on what basis?


And Anthere, can you please answer these questions?

a) What's wrong with one big article covering both these two specific 
versions and other variants?

and

b) What's the basis for the particular page titles you're advancing?


That would go a long way towards sorting this out.
