I think what normal soloers want is a way to describe their solo fairly. It sucks if someone says "I soloed X" when they did it with 50 potions, and you did it with zero potions.

But at the same time, I don't think anyone wants to count the number of potions used and do advanced calculus to get a soloing score either.

What I think people want from that page is a list of mobs, organized into universally recognized tiers of difficulty (if possible), and a set of options (eg. with puppet strings, with outside buffs, etc.) to qualify their solo. That way two soloers can solo the same mob, and have a common language to describe how they did it.

(And, of course, people can still try to solo things without "modifiers" for more impressive solos. I'm not trying to discourage that ... I just don't think the wiki should take the role of judging whether a solo was a solo, or how good of a solo it is, unless everyone can agree on the standards.)
Why are you refusing to even entertain the idea of multiple solo challenge pages? People write their own guides all the time. I have one in my signature. I did not go into the official ogre or shaman wiki pages and force my changes in there. I made my own page and promoted it.
