Not sure they're books and maybe should be NAB'd.

The one in message 4 is clearly part of a magazine, so not a book. It should be deleted (merged into a collection, if it ever appeared as part of one). The others all seem to me to be separately published ebooks, but I am not familiar with any of the sites they are on, so if you have additional information please let me know.
And a general reminder: only items with ISBNs or ASINs should be NAB'd by librarians. Items that are not books and have neither ISBN nor ASIN can just be deleted.

(And that was my questioning of the NAB status, but would be happy for clarification.)

It is hard for me to understand that meant something other than zine. Would that mean that that site is a zine and entries from there not a book?

Stories published only at Strange Horizons are not published separately. They should be merged with the magazine entry.I don't recognize the others.

So stories from that site would also need to be deleted or merged into collections.
Mod
On their own site, it says "Lone Star Stories is a bimonthly webzine".
Vestal Review also clearly identifies itself as a magazine on its homepage.
Night Shade Books is a publisher. It appears to host some individual shorts as well, and those should be ok.
Mod
Which makes it a fan page, not an official author (or publisher) site, as I said before.
When you delete the books from your posts, librarians cannot address the underlying issue.
Mod
Not in the sense of an official author's site, which is what Goodreads means. These stories do not seem to meet the Goodreads definition of separately published.

Feel free to edit your post #25 and mark them such. In the other thread, I know only about the Science Fiction Daily one, so you'll need to add a link which anthologies are the merge targets for the others.
Lexa wrote: "I did. after each of those I put the target in parenthesis. "into this book"I'll do w/e you want to make it organized how you want."
Once I get started on these, you'll need to make a new post for new merge targets - you can edit those posts, but a new one telling me which numbers are edited.(So I don't forget where I am, what I've done - and thanks!)
I'll let you know in a new post which have been done.

Lexa - these are all I see for that Savage Breasts anthology - if there are others, now would be a good time to identify them. I did find the short story Savage Breasts, but it was published earlier in Pulphouse, and I merged with its original publication.
25.9 merge pending in supers thread
Lexa wrote: "That was one I was able to put in the super thread earlier. I put ones that didn't involve questionable sources. These in this thread are all "are these valid listings/questionable sources" ."If you want to change the folder for this thread to "Looking for a Project" then other librarians will know the original question has been answered and now we're on to fixing the problems.
I'll take a look at the ones you posted over there. Maybe I can help clean those up. Any titles with 5 or fewer adds can be done by any librarian, doesn't take a super.
You're welcome. I have done some of this type of work in other threads, so it feels familiar. ;-)
Maybe I'll just leave those then. It's not good when 2 people are working on the same titles - bad things have been known to happen.

OK, if no merge targets, only supers can do these. Feel free to post in that thread.

They all need to be combined though.

Got these combined and posted as such in the other thread.
And thanks for identifying and keeping after these.
fixed - thanks for checking my work
