I would see the page as being referred to as the name they were first known as (i.e., Sidney Glass would be the Genie of Agrabah), and I think that should be how it is even if they are not merged. After all, no other franchise has a wiki that separates two aspects of a character into two separate pages, with the exception of Camp Half-Blood Wiki. I think I would like it better this way. No other franchise? Are you implying you checked every single wiki for every book series, tv series, video game series, etc. and that no other one (except Percy Jackson) splits characters? I find this highly unlikely (both that you have checked all the wikis and that no other wiki splits a character that can be considered the same character). I'm pretty sure I can already think of a few examples where a character has two pages on a wiki, yet is still the same character, plot wise.

Marvel Wiki and DC Comics. They have one page per incarnation of a character. Clearly, they can have 10 pages for Batman or Wolverine. One page per canon/universe. So even if it is basically the same character, they made the difference.
