Merge this page with Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive? edit

This page claims that Dunajetz is part of the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive, but the force sizes claimed (1 and 2 million respectively) look like approximations for the whole of the Eastern Front, not just this battle. The dates are a very close match, but those quoted in the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive article are in fact the correct ones according to Stone (1975). Other areas in the article show that it has received much less care and attention than the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive. Although there are some useful references, I don’t think that it warrants a separate page, given that there is almost a complete overlap in forces, time and space between the two battles. In my opinion the good bits of this article, particularly the references, should be migrated into a subsection in the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive article. Any thoughts? --Wally Tharg (talk) 18:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
