Re:Mathematicians should stop naming things after each other by Delk on Sunday September 06, 2020 @07:34AM (#24390668)
Very few concepts or techniques, whether in mathematics, CS or elsewhere, are named after people by themselves.

It's rather that others start calling the concepts by the person's name when discussing the concept or algorithm, after it has been introduced by that person in an article or elsewhere.

It would be good not to accuse others of narcissism when there's actually no narcissism involved.

Edit: omitted part that wasn't constructive
