Alright, well, this is my arguement in favor of the term Genocide Route.

Genocide Route is the most widely used term by the community, and the wiki should be structured so that people can most easily find the information that they need.

Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, has used the term "Genocide Route," and did not appear to have an issue with it. He has no issue with the name, and doesn't mind if it's used.

It's claimed that the term was originally coined during this twitch livestream,  a playthrough in which the protagonist was named Hitler, and who apparently made multiple offensive jokes regarding the situation. I argue, that while this is perhaps not the best origin, the name has gained signifigant traction, and the wiki should reflect what most people consiter the name of this route.

We can't simply make names up. While some names may be more fitting, or more witty, or less offensive, this is the name most widely used, and that fact cannot be ignored.
