For the characters that retained the same name but otherwise kept their original EF personality/memories, I would support the idea of merging them for one page per character. I'll agree that Bo Peep and Eric were both cursed and probably do have cursed backstories, but we never saw them, and we only know them by their occupations and the characters act the same in SB as they do in the EF. For the characters that were never cursed but have two pages (Neal/Baelfire, Pinocchio/August, Peter Pan/Malcolm), I've since changed my opinion about keeping them separate. I believe it's better to merge those as well since Neal and August are essentially the adult forms of Baelfire and Pinocchio. Malcolm is a little more tricky since he was changed by magic, but that's still not being cursed. His personality and demeanor did change, but he still kept his memories from his time as Malcolm and remembered everything.

I disagree concerning the counterpart name as title. The whole of the argument is to say: the curse did not create a new identity, which mean they're still their "first self". I think it would be logical to keep the name of the first persona, not the counterpart one. I wasn' t suggesting merging pages for cursed characters that have different names, but for characters that retained the same names for both SB and EF (example: Bo Peep, Tinker Bell, Robin Hood, Roland, etc.). For Regina, I'm iffy about this since technically she kept her name, although in the EF she became more commonly known later as the Evil Queen. Then again, although she was cursed, and she did gain a new life and memories while under the curse, she still kept her old memories and had the same personality as she did in the EF. Same with Jefferson.

I did suggest non-cursed characters be merged, but that was just a thought, and I would be fine with those pages staying separate considering that in those cases, the characters assumed separate identities from their former selves.
