re 694: The Goodreads policy is to use periods after each initial, so you are S.K. Munt and you need to add the author name in that way to have the book on your profile. I moved this book to your profile. A next time, please give the links to the involved profiles.

Three of them are correct. Checked them thoroughly. Merged two for them [those I could] for helping purpose.
So please merge only:

Another librarian corrected the author name for the book, so no longer needs merging.

All books only published in Cyrillic (or at least all editions I've found so far on GR)
This authorhttp://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

This thread is for merging duplicate author pages when one has been claimed. That author may claim their author profile and then wait to be approved.

I'm not going to merge profiles in two different languages. Especially not when the author clearly wants the English one to exist.
(I'm not saying you are wrong. He may indeed only have books published n Cyrillic. I'm saying it seems like there's a reason the profiles are separate, and merging them cannot be undone.)

If not, shall I add both names to the book records?

That's certainly fine.

Will do then :)

He is a regular updater of his author page, he just doesn't put a book on it.
