I think that the various origins of Cybermen should be discussed in detail on Creation of the Cybermen, and some content from the Mondas and Cybus version pages specifically relating to the origin of various versions moved there, while otherwise, we should have one Cyberman article. Beyond their origin stories, it is no longer possible to determine (nor really relevant) which version comes from where originally.

I'd also avoid calling them a "species" (or "species" plural) altogether, since they are not a species biologically, just a type of cybernetic upgrade developed independently by various species.
