When I searched for Dorothy L. Sayers this morning, this author page pops up:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The correct author page is this one:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Could someone get rid of the erroneous entry? Thanks!

You may want to get rid of this one, too. I just found it.

Thanks. The second one popped up after you fixed the first one!

They need to have not only no books, but no fans, no quotes, no nothing, otherwise you have to merge

(sorry for being this nit-picking :-) )

The record was empty, no books, fans, or quotes. It may be someone used one author page as a template to create a Sayers page, and left this botched one behind, abandoned. (That's just a guess, but the record was empty.)
