Merge request

I will second the suggestion to merge this page with GW170817 and GRB 170817A, under GW170817. These are all different identifiers for the same event. I choose GW170817 for reasons of priority (that was the first observation), dependency (the kilonova would not have been observed without the GW observations), and the overall importance of gravitational waves to science.

@EMS: I don't think anyone seriously disagrees with the merge. It's just a matter of someone volunteering to do the actual work. And who can be arsed to do a half-decent job of it. (Three {{Merge}} templates without a |discuss= parameter to direct discussion to a common place is not encouraging. But notice I'm not fixing it either; I'm busy with other things ATM and just overspent my Wikipedia time budget on Permuted congruential generator.) 104.153.72.218 (talk) 10:25, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
