I am a new Librarian. I read manual book, but i decided to ask for help.
Now
This is a Uzbek (or Ozbek, or Özbek) Author's books published in Turkey
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Name : Adil Yakuboğlu
And this are other books in Turkey the same Author's
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Name : Adil Yakubov
Now;
Our Manual Book says that for the name, look at Library of Congress. Here is the link
https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/holding...
Names are
Odil Ëqubov
and
Odil Yoqubov
are used.
And in wikipedia (Uzbek wiki) his name is Odil Yoqubov
https://uz.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odil_Yo...
and in our site there is no this Author's name !! May be there is writed in Kyril Alphabet.
I think true one is Odil Yoqubov.
Am i right ?
May you help me to merge this Author's pages any experienced Librarian ?
Thank you very much.

I can't find any English translations of his work, but both the Library of Congress and WorldCat have Odil Ëqubov as the preferred spelling, so I'm thinking that should be his primary name (unless someone familiar with this author knows of a better "international" name).
BUT it does not mean that the other spellings should be merged into this one. All the versions that appear on the covers are valid as well.
So: Adil Yakuboğlu should be the secondary author on the books that have that spelling;
Adil Yakubov should be the secondary author on the books that have that spelling;
Adyl Jakubow should be the secondary author on f.e. this German book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and there may be more.
A lot of different profiles for one author, but that's the way it is.
