I would argue the other way around - due to their generic names, you have too assume they're different characters. Which leads me to the question whether these characters even deserve their own page. We're going to have to have a discussion about relevance requirements like they have on wikipedia pretty soon.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a completist as well, but characters with no lines that are in any way significant to plot development or characterization do not deserve anything beyond a mention under the appearances in the issue. Personally, I draw the line at three appearances minimum (and yes, there has to be definite evidence that they are the same character) and/or a major contribution to plot or characterization of another character.

Then again, that's my opinion. I know some of the admins go with much stricter requirements - why not try and open a discussion in the forums?
