Okay, I'll re-explain myself: it needs to be clear for both readers and editors where to add the information the moment that episode airs. The time of the broadcast is very important, as something has to be done by then. If you want a dab page, fine, we need something. Then we open a new discussion after the airing.

At the moment, the format must be terribly confusing for new editors and readers alike. Readers'll want to look up information on all incarnations; editors'll want to add information to the latest one. But where to look? They'll immediately go to Clara Oswald or Clara Oswin Oswald, both of which are only the Victorian Clara. So two solutions: either we merge the pages or Clara Oswin Oswald/Clara Oswald becomes a dab page with links to Clara Oswald (The Snowmen), Clara (The Snowmen) (possibly renamed Clara Oswald (The Bells of Saint John) in the future to avoid confusion) and Oswin Oswald (Asylum of the Daleks). Since it seems unlikely that we can merge the articles properly before the broadcast of Bells, I think it will suffice to create a dab page.

Anyone object to dab page creation? We will, of course, open a new discussion post-broadcast.
