Option A - I personally don't think the economic aspect is independent and significant enough to warrant its own page.

I don't know enough about the situation to make specific comments. After a quick glance at both articles, I note that they are both quite long. If they were merged, the one would be longer still. Perhaps the present article could be developed to describe the events that occurred just in 2013 that precipitated or aggravated the crisis, while the broader article could follow the ongoing problems? The troubles in Venezuela (Â :( ) are just likely to continue (i.e., the articles are likely to get longer still) - it is likely the best strategy is to develop a coordinated set of articles focused on specific and complementary issues so that we are not left with a gigantic article that no one would read. Articles on broader economics, the effects on the oil industry, effects on environment, health and education, pandemic problems, political dysfunction, etc. Venezuela is a uniquely sad situation, the destruction of a beautiful country. I am not likely to be very involved in these articles, however.

Comment Many thanks for the ping, Ikjbagl. On one hand, there appears to be content that overlaps with both the
Crisis in Venezuela article and the
Economy of Venezuela articles. On the other one, this article is an opportunity to go into detail of all of the current economic problems. At first sight, what seems clear is that the article needs to be updated. --

Thanks for the ping; I am not in favor of a merge. The
Crisis in Venezuela article is large, and each crisis should be addressed separately (economic, health, presidential, crime, corruption) etc. By merging them, the article will become unmanageable. Crisis in Venezuela is now at 12,000 words of prose-- well beyond recommended. Perhaps better
Summary style is needed.

Comment Thanks from me too for the ping,
Ikjbagl. I'm not sure whether it's significant enough to warrant its own page, at least as it is now; so Option A seems to be a bit more reasonable as argued by
Bdushaw, but I'm not opposed to Option B either, for as pointed out by
Jamez42this article is an opportunity to go into detail of all of the current economic problems.
SandyGeorgia also made a good point, too. Either way, I agree that the article needs much improvement. For one, I think we should make a summary of the Origins section rather than just a transcript from Economy of Venezuela and also remove the Economy of Venezuela template which seems to be unnecessary and it would probably be better to have some image or something else to describe the situation rather than simply copy the template, again.--

Option Bsort of --- Merge articles and change title to
2013âpresent crisis in Venezuela. By removing economic from the title the article can present the crisis as a whole with a substantial amount of article space dedicated to the economic aspect. Articles titled similarly to "Crisis in Venezuela" are always problematic because there is no time frame attached to the title and crises aren't eternal. --

Oppose both This articles are so utterly important they need independent sub articles. There is no need to merge.
