For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread. [Non-librarians: Please just note in your requests that you are unable to complete this step.]

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments These were all added by the same user titled as a "guide" to the book, but all have no ISBNs/ASINs, and publication dates/cover images that correspond to other editions of the actual book. I can't find any book published as this is titled- this is the closest https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... Can these be deleted/merged with corresponding editions of the actual book? I've left them separated for now as I wasn't sure.

YZ Please remove https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..., as it is not a book, but an online short story. I am the author of the short story, and I would like an accurate list of books I've written on my author profile. Thank you very much for your help.

This is an individual print comics without ISBN. An ASIN was attached, but ASINs only go with Kindle editions and there is no Kindle edition for this comics. I combined with an edition that collects this individual comics, and it can be merged with the default edition:

#3 queued UPDATE: sorry, I tried three times, on different days, and I can't get them to merge.
#4 done
#6 That is a valid Kindle edition, combined with the other editions. There is a Spanish duplicate, merged that one into the Spanish paperback.
#7-11 done
#12 No edition deleted. There were multiple editions with isbn and this title imported. It could be a pre-publication title change, or it could be published with a different title for a different English speaking country.
#14 done
#16-18 done
#19 please update the edition it should be merged into first, before requesting a merge
#20-21 done

#22 are you sure it is included in the default edition? According to the description it collects "Collects LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT #11-13 (digital-first), LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT 100-PAGE SUPER SPECTACULAR #1." where the single comic is "Legends of the Dark Knight 100-Page Super Spectacular (#2)". Also not sure if 96/100 pages is a single issue.

I'd say they should be separated and merged into the matching editions of the actual book (despite the titles including "A Guide").

Done (I thought avoiding changes was preferred).

That is true for changes like removing a truncated isbn, or moving an isbn when isbn10 and isbn13 are split over two editions.

For your example, the only cover on GR would be deleted, and I would have to go to a non-GR link, check if cover and isbn are matching, add the cover and compare the isbn edition with the duplicate edition.

#19/25 duplicate merged (kept the larger identical cover)

Goodreads considers that a published work. Edits contrary to policy reverted.

Individual comics without ISBN. This issue is part of the "Masters of the Universe: Origins of Eternia" series of one-shots (see e.g. here). Oddly this issue doesn't have a Kindle counterpart to merge to (series in Amazon here). But the series was collected in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Vol. 2: Origins of Eternia, so it can be merged there. I combined it there to facilitate this.
