Why aren't they named after the discoverers?

IMA 2005-016 is pumpellyite-(Al).

The authors name new species as they like.

New mineral names are determined by the senior author of the new mineral description. If the author wants to name it after the discoverer, it's the author's decision. The name must also be approved by the IMA-CNMMN.

The guidelines are on http://www.geo.vu.nl/users/ima-cnmmn/cnmmn98.pdf
