I think the pages should be fully merged if they are portrayed by the same actor like Seventh Doctor (Death Comes to Time) but in cases where they were played by different actors (and therefore clearly distinct from them) such as Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death) and Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka) we should do a brief summary under the alternative validity section and then link to the page for that incarnation using.

In these cases, I think it's important to establish that as per our policies Ninth Doctor and Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death) have equal right to be called the Ninth Doctor but there is no denying that Eccelston is the primary topic and so it should be Atkinson and Grant that have the dab terms.
