lethe | 16365 comments The author name should be added as it appears on the cover, so the second profile (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) should definitely NOT be merged.

The first profile seems to be the most common English spelling, so it should be added as primary author to all his books IF any have been translated into English.

I merged the third profile (with his name in different alphabets) into the second, because all covers had that name.

The fourth (last) profile name appears on at least one cover, so should NOT be merged. If it turns out this is the only English spelling used on any cover, this should be the primary author name on all editions.

I'll leave it to someone who knows the language (Tamil, I think?) and author to sort it out.

lethe | 16365 comments There is yet another profile, which has some English-language books listed:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Unfortunately, none of them have covers.
