Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments There is no manual delete function, there is a script run occasionally by GR that will delete empty profiles.

We either leave them for that or you can merge into Unknown if no books, fans, quotes or the real author profile is one exists

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments For instance - the third one listed should be Clarence Pearson. When you correct the profile: Pearson Clarence Pearson to read "Clarence Pearson" they will merge together and if there are any stray fans or quotes or things easily missed - they will merge into the correct listing.

Those other two (like Paula said) can be merged into Unknown after you thoroughly check to make sure there are no fans or quotes associated.

Edit: Actually the first two should be Pearson Custom Publishing (to merge with the like profile). But then each book should be looked at to replace the author listing (individually) with it's correct author.

sigh - one problem solved - another one detected.
