Well, it hasn't been brought up because it was not necessary, simple as that. As my example with shanks, it took a few hundred chapters from him using haki to the official introduction, it could be the same case with Zoro. Because frankly, Zoro had not much screentime since the types of haki were introduced and explained, not to talk about an actual fight.

I think this is the main reason why people add Haki to the articles, because lately Oda himself connects events of the past with the use of haki (mantra, shanks & the seaking, motobaro) and he could very well do so in the future. Obviously, the fans search for more indicators in the past. Zoro's isn't to far stretched. Because if we are honest, Zoro's thought's/talk back then -sounds- a lot like haki:

Mr 1: Impossible... even after that, he is still standing...How did you evade the falling rocks!?

Zoro: Evade all of them... no... It's because I knew they would not land on me. (Zoro is searching for his sword:) My sword...it is under that rock... I know it!

Zoro: The falling rocks had a sense of life to them. Not life...I would call it.... breathing. The breath of those rocks.. .the trees, they are breathing as well. Even the land is... is this the meaning?

Zoro: I can hear it, his metal's breathing. Transfer my thoughts through my sword. Now to see if I truly have gained the power to cut through metal!

So what do we have here? He redirects his thoughts through his sword to enhance his attacks. Good morning Busōshoku Haki. What's next? He just knows where the rocks will land, he just knows where his sword is. He can sense the "essence", or whatever you want to call it, around him. Good morning Kenbunshoku Haki. These 2 types are nothing special, every character in one piece can develop them. Look, here is the word, develop. And for many people it looked like both of them awoke during his fight with Mr. 1. We might see the full capacity after he trained with Mihawk.

So in the end it is a conclusion. Nothing more, nothing less. I agree that it has no place in the articles, especially because abilities are usually explained by Oda when the time is right. However, telling others to not add their own conclusion seems strange when other articles support it (see Lafittes unconfirmed devil fruit). You say people should not write about things YOU don't approve of... why should they? Talking about double standards here.
