Forum:Cybermen articles

Given how both kinds of Cybermen can now be seen just as notable, and given how in the future it might be increasingly hard to determine whether a given group of Cybermen is of Mondasian or Cybus origin, or even a merger between the two (as in Blood of the Cybermen), how about making the main Cyberman article an overview page about all kinds of cybermen, their differences and similarities, while having the current article as a more specific article at Cyberman (Mondas) or something like that? I'm not suggesting a full merge - the details would still be in separate articles. For example, the intro could be something like this:


 * "Cybermen are cybernetically augmented near-Humans and Humans. Cybermen have varied greatly in design through time, with different offshoots factions throughout time and space. However, the two major groups, from which all other known versions are derived, are the Mondasian Cybermen, which originated on the planet Mondas, Earth's twin planet, and the Cybermen that originated on Earth in another universe, where they were created by John Lumic, the owner of Cybus Industries.


 * Throughout their history, both kinds of Cybermen have, for the most part, lacked individuality or names. Cybermen no longer possessed emotions and viewed them as a weakness. They have frequently attempted to physically and mentally re-engineer humans and other humanoids into Cybermen, via a process called "cyber-conversion" or "upgrade"."
