You just answered your own question:

You keep claiming them to be the same person, a fact that you cannot prove in any way, shape, or form. All you have to do is reread this thread where people have posted evidence to the contrary over and over again. Until it is proven that they are the same person, there is far too much evidence against them having a single page. At the moment, you just don't know.

Okay, this is the last time I'm repeating myself: her dying is not proof of different people in a world where anything can happen. Her not remembering is not proof in a world with memory worms, hypnotism, and the GI (who are able to control all of humanity). Her being in a different century is not proof in a world with time travel.

Once again, we can't apply real-world logic to this. Remember: this is not only Doctor Who, but a Moffat plot line. You bet it will be wibbly wobbly, and all over the place, and maybe it'll even make sense! But we all know that it will get explained. We also all know that Moffat won't rip us off by telling us in the finale that they're different people and it's just a coincidence, and the Doctor was just barking up the wrong tree. What would be the point of this whole story line? We're clearly building up to an explanation on how she can exist across time.

So. Clues and evidence: One person:

• "Run You Clever Boy and Remember" is a phrase most likely in her subconscious. Her first two incarnations said it right before their deaths, and her third used it to remember an Internet password. Obviously, there's some connection; some lingering connecting memory between them.
• Modern Clara thinks of 'Oswin' as a username.
• The Doctor states that they are the same woman.
• They all look identical, sound identical, and have near-identical personalities
• Both ModClara and Oswin are computer geniuses.
• Both VicClara and ModClara are nannies.
• VicClara has shown her skill in having different voices and personalities, as evidenced by her normal self and her "Miss Montague" self. She has acting abilities, and could easily fake not remembering or being someone else, even if her memory wan't wiped.

More than one person:

• Died twice: Doesn't hold much water. See comments above.
• Doesn't remember: Memory wiped by GI, Doctor, or memory worm. Could be faking at the future Doctor's orders. Doesn't prove much of anything.
• Different century: once again, doesn't mean much with time travel.

While I can see your doubt, I still think there's far more evidence for her being one person. And even if she's not, she's clearly somehow one entity of sorts. Or something amplified. There is something connecting these Oswalds, something that should not be spread out across five different pages.
