Here is the personal way in which I see this matter:

1. Merging articles creates clutter - especially on medium - large articles such as seen with weapon articles.

2. Make sure there is a 'See also' section, which redirects editors to similar articles over the same item. That way, we avoid clutter, and we provide all additional information over the item in question.

3. There are always exceptions. If an item only warrants exceedingly minor articles (only a line or two of bare minimum content), and this is repeated throughout additional articles over the item throughout the entirety of The Elder Scrolls, that would warrant having the articles merged as to avoid having bare bones articles, which are just as annoying as cluttered articles.
