Emtiaj (emtiajium) | 439 comments Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author.

According to this, one language's name should be in one field, shouldn't it? If so, would you please do a magic and clear the messes of the author's name given below? :D

lethe | 16359 comments Since these are all Goodreads authors, it's better to contact Support.

(The special thread for merging two author profiles, one of which being a GR author, is not applicable in this case, and other issues with GR authors should be taken up with Support.)
