Most English speakers use the names "Gaia
theory" and "Gaia
hypothesis" interchangably. They do make a distinction
between Lovelock's Gaia theory and Margulis's Gaia theory,
but not with the terminology she uses.
Further, we *already* have an article on this subject
[[Gaia theory (biology)]] that discusses both points of
view in detail. Yet Anthere keeps insisting that we have
THREE articles on this same topic, in the same detail.

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.
