Merged with another volume (picked a volume of her poems that looked likely).

Ok, got the one in 1207 too. Working on the adder, with the melange of ok no-ISBN books and not-ok.
Ok, someone is taking legitimate no-ISBN books from this user and changing the authors to "Delete". Unless you know for sure that the book does not exist, it should not be getting deleted. And even in that case, changing the author like that is not helpful.
I think I got all his non-legit no-ISBN books. He had a lot of legit ones -- small-press books, duplicate ISBN editions with new covers, foreign books with no ISBN -- that I hope have not been deleted.

I only deleted the one (which was how I found him) on a duplicate edition that was already merged. Someone put "Delete" as the author?
Yup. Looked like as a way to get around the not being a super and deleting uncombined books thing.

It's saying that a super-librarian needs to do it. This is the second time that this user has added this book.
Thanks!

It's already combined with the correct edition and separated from the rest. After deletion, please recombine with the others. I don't know whether separating these two editions was necessary or not. If I just complicated things, let me know.
Got both.
Chichipio, it looks like separating them out was a good idea. I think otherwise the ratings/shelvings would have migrated to the coverless edition, rather than the one with the matching cover.

Here's the popular edition:

I did not however, delete the book. It has a unique ISBN and therefore it stays.

Could it be merged with the version that has all the correct data?
Got it. Next time, it would be helpful if you separated out the two specific editions that need merging. :)

Apart from the title being wrong it doesn't have any additional information about the edition.
