From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I'm good with going with TangerineDuel's proposal for now, though I'm still primarily in favor of three pages.

Because Oswin and Clara Oswin thus far have no connection to 7B, basically. Clara is a continuing character who we'll undoubtedly see grow in the next seven episodes, whereas it's speculation to assume we'll see any more of Oswin or Clara Oswin.

It's intriguing to me that we're going through the motions in the exact opposite manner as the River/Melody situation, where we assumed they were separate until proven to be the same (and even then, there was significant friction against combining them until the show sat us down and spelled it out).
