Please delete this book! (pt. 17) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

The difference is more than the date. The cover is different (though subtle), and the imprint of the publisher is different. I thought about updating it as well, but then thought better of it. This may need a separate thread to discuss.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...No record of this book. All I can find is that she was involved with EARLY drafts of the screenplay for the film...
I have a question Why can't regular librarians delete books?
I created a new edition (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...) for this book (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...) because it was not updated after republishing with a new title and cover. However they are now 2 different group. Any librarians can help to merge them into the same book but different editions?

I merged the first two. The last is listed as a hardcover. There is another ISBN listed on the publisher's page, but I can't confirm (on a non-bookseller site anyway) that the ISBN belongs to the hardcover.

Can you tell what book the record was intended to be?

There is a listing for the screenplay on worldcat, but without an ISBN, so I don't know if it ever available for purchase or to the general public.

Would appreciate a second opinion before deleting.

"Leyla ile Mecnun" is a poem made up of rhymed couplets that was written by Fuzuli in 1535. It is not a book. It may be published as a part of some books by various publishers but there is no way to know that which book was intended by this entry. The name is definitely wrong. Description is not a description but actually a review by the user.

Jacob wrote: "I have a question Why can't regular librarians delete books?"Regular librarians can delete books with less than five adds.
However, deletions are one of the few (maybe the only?) edits that cannot be undone. Therefore, deleting a book that has been added by more than a few people is performed by superlibrarians.

I'm not sure that there is any way to find more information about the publication, especially since neither of the users shelving it appear to be still active, but there isn't a Turkish-language edition into which we could merge it. I'd rather not delete it if there's any chance it could be a valid book.
There are several Turkish books listed here that look like they might be appropriate:http://www.worldcat.org/title/leyla-y...
Could we add one of these and merge?

Separated out with the other the Dutch paperback editions for now (don't know which one it was supposed to be, but guessing the one with no cover as has same page numbers).

Could somebody please mergehttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
and put the ASIN of the coverless book with the other??
Got 75 and 77.For 74, I'd rather leave the short story for someone else; it looks like there may have been a limited edition of the short story...? And the other "unknown" book is a victim of the Amazon Purge last year, so it stays in the hopes that someone who had it shelved with be able to restore it.
Got 78. It looks like this was only ever published in Kindle format, not in any other type of ebook.
There are little things requiring clean-up re: this book's info but for now, please merge:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... (no period in author's MI)
WITH http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
Thank you.
Not sure if merge/delete will fix same book but mistakes in one GR page = 2 author profiles for same author?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... (more complete but missing MI)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... (incomplete but author's name OK)
