Manuel Alfonseca | 136 comments The classical Russian author Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovski (1823-1886) has four different pages in Goodreads:

each with one or two books. I have verified that the five books are all by the same author.
Can you unify these four author pages?

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Working on this as it is more complicated than a simple merge of author records. Each book record should have the default form as primary author and then the author-as-on-cover as secondary author. Once untangled I'll push this to the Project group for more help.

Sorted:
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky - LCAuth = Default variant

Aleksandr Ostróvski - Italian language variant record
Aleksander Ostrovski - Dutch language variant
Александр Николаевич Островский - Cyrillic (Russian) variant

Unsorted as yet
Aleksandr Ostrovskij
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovskii
Aleksandr Nikolaevi Astrovsky
