I split them after Oswin was moved (without discussion by Digifiend who stated "Clara and Oswin are the same person.... but how that's possible I cannot explain, as she's now died twice." in the edit summary) to Clara.

At the moment as Memnarc has said we know they're linked but don't know if they're the same person. At the moment we don't know. If we were to have one article at this moment I think we would come close to breaking our T:SPOIL, creating articles based on what might happen or what hasn't yet been released. Or to take CzechOut's Doctor quote as fact theorise on what exactly the Doctor means without having seen the development of that assertion.

If we combined the articles at the moment there would be a lot of vague language describing "another life" or "another lifetime" as there was in the few edits following the move.

Also from a technical side of things it's a lot easier to merge the three (or however many) articles into a single article than it is to split them apart.
