It's not speculation that they're the same person. We have the Doctor explicitly saying they're the same person.
I just don't see how you get around this:
I never knew her name, her full name. Soufflé girl. Oswin. It was her. It was soufflé girl. Again. I never saw her face the first time, with the Daleks. But her voice. It was the same voice. The same woman, twice. And she died. Both times. The same woman!
Given that, it is actually speculation to have separate articles. We've been directly told, emphatically, that it's the same person. Turning away from that description — especially since that change came, as Tangerineduel pointed out, without discussion — flies in the face of the basic principles of the wiki.
We should always report what is actually in the stories — not what we think is there, or what we would wish to be there.
And what's absolutely, explicitly in The Snowmen is that, somehow, the same woman has appeared at three different points of history, despite having died twice. That's it.
We can only break the articles up if we have proof that they're different people.
