This is definitely a series, isn't it?

They count as non-primary, but they should still be included.There's no other place to check for a series deletion, I'm afraid. I'm guessing it was a mistake?
It looks like a series named "George Smiley" was renamed to "The Karla Trilogy" and then 5 non-Karla books were removed from the list.https://www.goodreads.com/series/1014...
So presumably the someone in question was too lazy to create a Karla series and just screwed up another one.
hmmm. and there's no way to flag changes in the series log, is there?

ETA: There are also flag links on the page listing all a specific librarian's edits beside each change.

No mistake. They also removed the George Smiley series data from the titles of 2 books.
The Karla series used to be there alongside the George Smiley series. The series number in my browser history for the former Smiley series was 87753 and that now simply shows up as the red 'oops we couldn't find that series' error message. (That's how I found it had gone.) So I wonder if the existing Karla series (which has a later number) was also modified after that as it has a different series number.
ETA - another question: Do collected volumes containing more than one work from a series and also works that aren't in that series count as non-primary works, or should they not be included in the series?
I have re-instated the series.
