The reddit had this policy to avoid editorialization, which I've carried over here, because we are here to appreciate the beauty of Wikipedia, which has its own carefully formulated policies on article titles. It is so rare that we can just open a link and can be confident it's not click bait, and is exactly what it says on the tin. However, I will take a light hand on moderating this; I just know there's no clear line of what is appropriate, and I think it's better to let the wiki speak for itself. In this case I think all the points you brought up are mentioned in the article. Perhaps that can be the bar we set: no editorialization outside of the scope of the source article.
