It is almost definitely worthwhile to remain with the four pages we have. Osgood will be left no matter what, so that needn't even be considered for a merge. It is reasonable to assume that Osgood (TDotD) can be renamed Petronella Osgood, as we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this name any more than any other name someone uses to introduce themself. Bonnie definitely does not need merging at this point in time; whether "future proofing" is something this wiki is going to begin to do is something which should be authoritatively decided, and given the fact our spoiler policy and the fact that speculation is completely invalid here leads me to believe that doing so is very, very close to a huge breach of policy. Finally, Zygon Osgood, or whatever its name may be in the future, can be left as a page. The only real cause for debate here is whether it should be merged, something that wouldn't be entirely necessary, but which might be favourable.

So I see three options:

1. We leave all pages, writing similar information in for both Petronella and Zygon Osgood.

2. We merge Petronella and Zygon Osgood, squeezing in the information about Zygon Osgood pre-hybridisation as a sort of prelude for "Osgood"'s life post-hybridisation.

3. We add a third page on the being "Osgood" referring to the events of the Osgood twins post-hybridisation, and cut off Petronella and Zygon's pages at the end of their roles in TDotD.

Personally, I feel the third option is most suitable, as we are therefore not duplicating information due to non-speculation, and we are also not trying to shove in info about a separate character on another character's page. That way we simply give the new page two sections: the one who we see in DiH and who dies, and the one who we see in Inversion/Invasion who hasn't yet. And that way, we simultaneously "future proof" our wiki by allowing any post-Inversion Bonnie stories to be covered on the hybrid page, finishing Bonnie's page at the end of Inversion, if ever necessary. So my vote is for pages to be written and maintained for Osgood, Petronella Osgood, Zygon Osgood, Osgood (hybrid) or whatever we may choose to call it, and Bonnie (The Zygon Invasion).
