It's more that the wiki relies on consistency between articles, information within the story and citations from sources closer affiliated with the author. If we decide to completely disregard the origin info from the manga, calling it Hamon would be a form of stereotyping as it wouldn't have the same cultural context provided from other actual martial arts.

I realize other mediums and the localization choose to use this stereotype for the sake of style and "mystic-feeling", but uniformity and clarity should have more precedence, at least for this medium.
