I was only addressing the argument of whether the Pratt and Beevers Masters were the same and was not touching on Pratt being Delgado at all, which may have been doing your argument a disservice, I'll concede.

Overall, I think trying to reconcile Legacy of the Daleks with any of the Master stories (or Susan stories, for that matter) that have come after is a fruitless task; there are too many contradictions. That isn't to say that Legacy is an invalid source; of course it's valid, and its account of what happened should be included on the Master's page (which it currently is). But the page does need to be structured around an overall narrative, and I believe its necessary for that narrative to be the ongoing one presented in all other sources I can think of. "All sources are equally valid" does not necessarily mean that one source is equal to multiple others. I think how the page is currently laid out is pretty good.

On a final point, while I do agree that the Master in Legacy is the Delgado one, we have no idea if the Beevers Master had a beard before being burned.
