I had originally refrained from commenting on this as I thought it was too big of a decision to be a part of.
I think that perhaps the Hidden Ones should remain a seperate article but to have them still referred as "Assassins". If they were Assassins after 1090, then the Hidden Ones were a predecessor organisation as we list them as now. However merging them and the OoA does make sense and will probably neaten things up. Regarding the Egyptian Brotherhood of Assassins and the info in it pertaining to the Hidden Ones, an article could always be made for Egyptian Brotherhood of the Hidden Ones (but thats a mouthful and will make more links, being more confusing in the end)... If the Hidden Ones article is kept then all info on them in the Assassins page should be mostly removed, replaced with a brief mention and a Read More link.
And the Assassin's that predated the Hidden Ones should also be called Assassins as they were remembered as posthumorously that being their legacy. Adam, Eve, and Kassandra should be the only exceptions. Being that history had forgotten them and their actions, they are not remembered as Assassins.
Arguing against a merger, if we were to merge OoA with Templars then people will want the Cult of Kosmos to be merged too, then the Children of Cain, then every other 'bad' organization. I say we keep them all seperate but revise info in Templars/Assassins about the previous incarnation.
Hopefully this all makes sense...
