Please delete this book! (pt. 48) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

Hello!I added two versions of the same book and I would like to delete one. I tried merging, but it didn't work.
This is the one I ould like to delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
This is the right one (which I published as a second edition of a previous edition, with fewer texts and contributors and only published online): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And this is the previous online edition. I don't know if it would have been better to publish it separately, instead of as a second edition, because the print edition has many more texts and authors. But anyway, here it is: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Thanks,
#167 I reverted your removal of data (cover and other info) that's needed to decide if a merge is valid.
These appear to be duplicates with the same release date (July 31st, 2018), but have different descriptions:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

60/127: can it be re-considered? It's still separated from the other editions.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
2 duplicates of the same (ISBN-less) edition, one of the cover was cropped at the bottom but it's the same one
Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...As you can check on the official website and on Amazon both covers are different from the real one. After the merging I'll upload a better resolution cover picture from the publisher's site, which is identical to the real book.
Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...The covers are different because one picture is a black and white photo from the original cover.
This edition has ISBN that should be on default which has none.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Duplicates:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Recombine with "The Children of Men".
Please, delete this duplicate edition of Kindle comic: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...I had to delete its ASIN, because it was using another book's ASIN.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
One of these two books should be deleted, as they both point at the same book (ISBN on one book and link to shop in another - same book), though one says paperback, another says hardcover, I think it's just mistake..https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
starting at the bottom, working upwards#141 Are you sure these are the same, looking at the different page counts, almost double?
#142 see #171, done
#143 merged into this valid (identical edition with isbn): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... Since you are a librarian, please remember to combine the duplicate with the valid edition (separating them from the other editions first) before requesting a merge. Duplicates are not just deleted, as that will remove the reviews/ratings/shelvings that are attached to that edition, but merge, which will transfer those to the valid edition, see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
#144 three duplicates merged, the last link is a valid edition with a different isbn. Please remember to separate all editions (and make sure duplicate(s) are combined with the valid edition they should be merged into.
#146 done
#147 done, but please remember to separate both editions (and make sure the duplicate and valid edition are combined) before requesting a merge
#148 since Amazon and Audible use a different ASIN for the same edition, and both are valid editions, it is easier to add the ASIN, which I've done now.
#149-152 done
#153 re-uploaded the covers on both editions, as both were missing the large version of the cover, not showing on the book page. It's hard to see on the small covers, but they seem not identical ('logo' or something in the circle at the right)
#156 I know the policy, but I rather don't delete items (deleting and merging being different).
#157-160 done
#161 done, but please don't move asin before requesting a merge.
#162 not done yet, please don't link to edit pages, as has been told before.
#163 one of the editions you linked to as duplicate has an isbn and will not be deleted. Added the cover from the publisher to the isbn edition. That cover is different than the one on both other editions. One of these duplicates merged.
#164 done
#165 not done yet, as I'm not sure that edition should even be on GR as a separate book 1. It looks like it is only part of the boxset, which seems to be the same as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
#166 done
#167 done. Next time, when you have a better quality version of the identical cover, please ask to have to cover updated, rather than adding a duplicate edition.
#169 not done, removing isbn's is not allowed. Also different publishers. (And please remember to separate both editions before requesting a merge, duplicate and valid edition have to be combined with each other).
#170 combined; both are valid editions, with different isbn's.
#171/142/127/60 done. The edition with the cropped cover had a cover change, had an identical but less quality cover as the edition with the non-cropped cover. (what is the format? Amazon says paperback, GR hardcover)
#172-179 done
#180 default merged, no reason to move isbn
#181 done
#182 not done. Removing ASIN's is not allowed. This edition was imported from Amazon, so the ASIN belonged to this edition as some point. When an ASIN is re-used, the new edition has to be treated similar as an alternate cover edition, see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....
#183 not done (yet). As has been told before, you have to separate both editions before requesting a merge. The duplicate and valid edition have to be combined with each other.
#184-185 done
#186 not done, cover and title are different. It looks like the isbn on one edition is invalid. If the same isbn was used for both editions, it has to be treated as an alternate cover edition: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85...
#187 not done, thinking it's a mistake is not enough reason to merge. Also, the covers are different, the one without title is the one on the publisher's/shop page.
#188-189 done
#190 not done, covers are different (most noticable on position of right head vs coin, and space between "a" and "money magnet")
#191-192 done
Please delete this book, I've just uploaded the good edition for it but still cannot add the ISBN because is the same. This one is bad titled, the description is not real and is full of ortographic errors: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
These seem to be Amazon entries for the series instead of actual books:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Mod
duplicate with truncated isbn https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...to recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
(no idea why I couldn't do it myself ...looks like less than 5 shelvings for that edition ... weird)
#194 #195-196 done
#198 done
For the Persian book linked below, there are three editions all of whom are the same. Deleting all editions needs a superlibrarian status, and hence I couldn't delete them.I think this edition should remain:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And these two should be deleted:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#200 Links are broken - they all go to Harry Potter texts!
Thank you Arenda for #171/142/127/60: the correct format is Hardcover so it's all fixed now.
