Personally, I'd feel very unprofessional lumbering all of the stolen incarnations onto one page. They're different bodies with different personalities. That's like lumbering the Eight and the Nine just because they shared a story. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that, in my honest opinion.

If the Master were a lot simpler... if someone from Doctor Who sat down and made a timeline of the Master (which will evidently never happen), then I'd be all for giving them separate articles. As of now, the Master's timeline is too debated to be given that treatment. As with the Tzun Master and the Dust Breeding Master, either of those could come first.

Dust Breeding states that the Trakenite Master got his human body ripped away by the Warp Core. The Tzun gifted the Trakenite Master with brand new regens. Furthermore, in the 1996 novelisation of the Film, it suggests that the Tipple Master is directly after the Trakenite Master. Yet, they could be argued as the same incarnation. It's not clear enough to warrant separate pages.

Just my opinion. The nature of an encyclopaedia is that we make articles on things that we're 100% certain of. When it comes to the Master's timeline, some of it is speculation. Dust Breeding is placed after the Tzun Master in the Theory Timeline only because of production bias and nothing more.
