I don't think that Latent variable model and Latent variable should be merged - they're different concepts, and neither is obviously a subcategory of the other. The articles currently contain quite different information, so this isn't a case where there is duplication of effort happening. I believe (thought it is not my field of mathematics) that the use of the term latent variable is much wider than its article implies, and includes situations quite unrelated to latent variable models.
