Multiple authors under a chosen name

[Cagne]

Hello, I noticed a super-librarian changed this author's name to one of the members of the duo. The name of the duo (Gino & Michele), is by far more known than the individual names of the two authors, and in all the books the author is listed, along with the title of the book, as "Gino & Michele" (and then there is a bio of the duo, where the separate full names appear).

Can this be an exception to the "Co-authors listed separately" rule?

Added Michele Mozzati as second author.

All books by this pair should have Gino Vignali listed first, and Michele Mozzati listed second.

Ah apparently they are listed separately internationally

Complicated though, as they are less known to the public separately. :|

But searching for them under Gino & Michele still brings them up: https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...

Ok, that's good, I put the other author in all the books, but, is that something that will consistently show up as the database is updated (because it's in metadata or whatever, I have no idea of the technical side of it), or is there the risk it will stop working?

Searching by the two names should work, since both names are listed on the books.
