Can part of this info be migrated manually (like the images, missing 
news items) ?

The unofficial page has more likes currently. Would that mean that by 
merging the official page will disappear, including its simple url and 
"GnuCash" name ? And the the longer url would remain and the "Gnucash" 
name ?

How about waiting until the official page has more likes then ? To 
stimulate this, the page info of the unofficial page could explain its 
intention to get merged into the official page eventually and that the 
official page is where to go for news and updates. Wouldn't that slowly 
send more people to the official page instead ?
