Merger proposal

Housing crisis and Housing Crisis (disambiguation) have overlapping content and seem to be trying to accomplish the same thing. I propose to combine these two disambiguation pages into Housing crisis and make Housing Crisis (disambiguation) (and Housing crisis (disambiguation)) a redirect to that page.

Support - not sure why it isn't simply done. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you but there's been some disagreement on Housing Crisis (disambiguation) about whether Affordability of housing in the United Kingdom is the primary topic. I thought that if anyone has strong feelings about it, they might as well have their say. Leschnei (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't found any discussion on the matter. I think there's a housing crisis anywhere housing affordability becomes a major issue, and Affordable housing is the sort of article that would surely be tagged with the {{Globalize}} template if it focused too much on any single country. – wbm1058 (talk) 16:38, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to follow the broad concept prompt -- but unsure of direction

Ok I fleshed out what was hitherto just a list / disambiguation with more content on the current housing crisis in the U.S., as the term is used to refer to regional shortages of housing, as well as nationwide shortages of certain types of subsidized housing.

I would envision a similar high level summary for different such shortages in other countries, as well as a high level summary for the way that "housing crisis" has been used in the past to refer to financial crises tied to real estate asset prices.

I can see this mix of topics getting unwieldy though. I could imagine a separate wikipedia article just on the topic "Housing shortage"; or "Housing crisis in the United States (shortage)", for example, if the U.S. content is disproportionate and needs to be hived off.

Amazing work!! I think you can remove the BCA cleanup tag. I agree that the US coverage is disproportionate and probably calls for a split. Also, the Roman numeral style section titles go against MOS:HEAD – the solutions I see would be to either demote all the headers under "I" and "II" by one level so the numerals can go, or (and I think this would be preferable) to split the financial crisis meaning to a separate article. —swpb^{T • beyond • mutual} 16:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
