What exactly is the problem if you C"V mark someone who is not a Tzadik as a Tzadik?
That someone will daven by his Kever by accident?
That someone will light a candle in his memory?

There are hundreds if not thousands of chashuve yidden who have some ruchnius importance to somebody buried on HHM.
However, the question is how deep in the weeds you get in a list like this.
Do you write the name of the night seder shoel umashiv from the 73rd largest yeshiva in Lakewood who nebach was niftar 6 months after getting the shteler?

It quickly gets to the point of TMI.

The issue is not misrating a tzadik, we don't now who is a bigger tzadik anyway. The point of this thread is to have useful information for people looking for kivrei tzaddikim. Flooding the list with names that have little interest to most people detracts from the usefulness of the thread.
