I think that we should combine the articles on the three incarnations of K9. When I say that, I don't mean combining the three K9s in the TV show (I, II, III), but rather the three regenerations of the first K9 -- I, 2, and the suggested 3 created because of K9's most recent do-over. Unlike the other two models built with separate consciousnesses, these three incarnations are all the same K9 model sent through new life spans (albeit with memory failure). It's been stated by the creators and official pages often that the K9 in the show is meant to be K9 I, even if in a new life.

I would say that this K9 qualifies for the same treatment that The Rani, River Song, Rassilon, and The Master have gotten -- to combine all incarnations to avoid confusion on contradicting or vague accounts.

This would also help us with the discussion that needs to be had about K9 Mark 3 -- if this new look qualifies for this to be a separate regeneration and thus a different page. We would be quick to do this by most accounts of Time Lords, but on the other hand in-universe evidence is lacking. Combining the pages would allow for discussion on the change without having to decide if a new incarnation was the cause.

It would also of course just be a lot more satisfying to see his whole story layed out the way it was meant to be. Any thoughts?
