Bat referred to as Dilmun

There doesn't seem to be any evidence of Bat being referred to as Dilmun. There are references to Dilmun in ancient texts, and Bat does exist, but I can't find anything that links them together. This article (https://popular-archaeology.com/article/archaeologists-excavate-ancient-bronze-age-remains-in-oman/) explores the possibility that these sites where in Magan (civilization).

I propose that the sentence "Several Sumerian texts, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, called it Dilmun." be removed from the article. There is potential to replace it with a sentence referring to the possible Bat-Magan link, but it is much more important to remove misinformation than to add hypotheses.

Any objections?
