This one, I have a question about. It was published in that mag, but then it has this separate listing (no ISBN) and the link in the record goes to no valid purchase page. Merge or keep?

I was noticing not all of #723 went though - #1 is still showing upEdit: never mind, I just rechecked it and it finally went through!
Working up to here.And yeah, ones with multiple and/or very large amounts of adds on the one-to-be-deleted will take a while to take.
Asimov's, June 2003 completePlease delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(There are separately published (non mag) versions of this short story, but this particular edition was marked as from Asimov's, so I separated and combined)
#734 merged and combined, but I can't delete this one:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
735 combined but still needs deletion
736 done!
I have a question about this one:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I think this one should be combined. Both editions posted link to "ibooksonline" which, after some search with the Internet Wayback Machine, looked like just some person who posted text of books online.
Anyone have an opinion? I like to err on the side of caution but this one really feels like a combine.
Sigh, someone is making entries for Levar Burton Reads again.Apex 59, please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Working up to here.#740 As far as I can see, that's a short published in Stories of Your Life and Others. Investigating but if it is, I'll combine and merge to that.
#743 was already gone
Yeah, I was going to merge it back into that title, since that ibooks site seemed non-legit. I just wanted to make sure that there was agreement!
I agree on the ibooksonline scepticism - iBooks are a legit vendor, and one who I can't see allowing a competitor with such a similar name...
excellent, I've done the combine then!Please delete:
1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
also, I have searched for separate publication of "Story of Your Life" and haven't found it published legally outside of magazine/anthology, so if you could also delete:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Thanks!
#748 in process, but with over 2k on one record, it;'ll take a while to go. At which time I can queue the next one...
Omni, Winter 1995 complete!Please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Basically, as I work my way through the Sturgeon Award nominees, I have been going through whatever mag had the story in it and checking it for any other stray short fiction listings.
