Maybe a better approach is to

1) Flag the problem in the talk pages, and that you will be correcting it.

2) After some time for discussion, move the offending material to a
different section on the page, suitably marked, such as "Related Concepts"
or with text like "Declarative programming may be distinguished from XXX
because blah blah."   And where a term is not univocal, the make a note
about that: a lot of controversy is merely because of unnecessarily
dogmatic phrasing.

3) After some other time, if the material is useful and it isn't
controversial, move it to its proper page.

Cheers
