message 1: by Lei (new) - rated it 3 stars

Lei (wfsm) | 69 comments This is a book from a Chinese author, written in Chinese, published in China only and marked Chinese as language in this entry. But it has English name, English description.
I did change some books into pure Chinese cause I thought a pure Chinese book with English info can't help me understand if they couldn't read Chinese. But I'm not 100% sure to just delete them.
P.S I know the English information is usually from some Chinese bookstores on Amazon.com. I checked out some before.

The author appears to have no books translated into English, so I merged the name in two languages (which is contrary to Goodreads policy) into the name in just Chinese: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Renske makes an important point: the books with incorrect information should be corrected, not deleted.

Lei (wfsm) | 69 comments Sorry for my poor English, I don't want to delete it, I just want to remove the English information, make it pure Chinese. I think you both think that's the right solution for those books.
