Midwest Geek (midwestgeek) | 124 comments There is a series named "Gabriel Allon #11". I seem to have mistakenly created a second series called "Gabriel Allon, #11" (Note the comma.) I would like to delete the latter series, but I have not been able to figure out a way to do it. Would someone do it and/or tell me how it can be done?

Secondly, I have a related question. Under each of the 17 titles in the series, there is a series named "Gabriel Allon #N" where N is the specific number of the title. In fact, the associated link yields the entire collection of books featuring "Gabriel Allon" as the main character I should have thought the name of the series would be "Gabriel Allon" with no associated number. Is the #N ignored in a series name?

Lieke | 4925 comments I deleted the series: "Gabriel Allon, #11".
When you go to the series page, you can edit a series and there is also a delete option at the bottom.

Now there is only this series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4108...
The series name is "Gabriel Allon".
#N is just the number of the book in the series, this is not the series name.

Goodreads does not like members being called out in threads on their official groups. I recommend you delete the name in your comment.
I can't find the book you mention can you give a link? This is always appreciated with all requests.

Midwest, please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Especially the section that says "don't do this".

And please remove references to specific users from your post, or it will be deleted. Note: Librarians have nothing to do with user-created groups. And unless they violate Goodreads policies, groups would not be deleted.

I removed my comment about that aberrant group. Sorry.
