A remerge has been suggested, but Enciclopedia Libre (Free Encyclopaedia) has been resistant and they are, after all, at an advantage because they have more articles than do we.
Where are you getting this information? From what I know, the Spanish Wikipedia passed Enciclopedia Libre in terms of article count a long time ago. The counts currently stated on their main pages are 50,508 (es.wikipedia.org) versus 28,165 (enciclopedia.us.es).
I do agree that being friendly and supportive is much more likely to bring them back in, on their own timetable, than trying to push the issue too much.
