We may need to focus on per era. I try to revise and revert tech name changes if the majority say that tech should be renamed or not. It's more or less democratic, and the above criteria (buildings that are enabled, pedia entries, units, art, representation, and immersion/realism). Any one of these is subject to change and even negation if there are good reasons to do so.
Pedia entry never should be reason to change name of tech.
Instead pedia entry should be changed.
I can identify the ones I'd draw a hard line on later. The rest is all up for discussion, and potentially each could be brought up and voted on. I can make a new thread for each one, one at a time, and get us all to vote after some proposals and considerations.
That would be a lot of threads

Better idea would be to revert tech renames commit and just discuss it on era by era basis.
I copied tech list to notepad++
127 techs were renamed.
