OK, fair enough. Although my point is that regardless of whether the episode itself confirms it, I think merging the articles might be a good idea. Even the current Cyberman (Mondas) article has a picture from Assimilation² with a Cybus logo on the Cyberman's chest. Some of the Matt Smith era Cybermen are considered separately under Cyberman while others are under Cyberman (Mondas).

Whether it is explained in-narrative or not, it's pretty much a given that all future appearances of Cybermen are going to share characteristics of both Mondasian and Cybus versions. Therefore it makes more and more sense to merge the Cybermen into one article, one that considers them as a whole, despite their two separate origin stories. E.g. something like this Cyberman/new#History (just a start for now)
