We don't have a policy to cover this (as far as I can determine) — hence the inconsistency.

I do like your idea of one page for occupations, and the doers of the occupation are pipe-switched to the occupation page.

However, my concern is we would end up with something like this on the occupation pages —

"The following people were biologists:" followed by a nonsourced list of biologists. That's lazy writing, and we already have lists of occupations at the category pages. It's better to have a short description, followed by a source.
