Please delete this book! (pt. 54) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

[rivka, Former Moderator]

For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread. [Non-librarians: Please just note in your requests that you are unable to complete this step.]

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Hi! I was trying to add myself as a contributor to: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

and made an error and created a duplicate indicating I am the author of the edited volume. This is the duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Please delete the duplicate, I am a contributor on the primary entry, not the author. THank you!

That's not enough reason to delete them altogether, but they do seem to have multiple editions without additional information.

Working from #17 to #26

For my reference
Carolyn Turgeon
Kim Cross (2^)

Re #21 - yes - if the others are valid, then these should be too, but I would expect us to improve the records with data we do know.

#17-20 Queued
#22 Separated it's duplicate, added missing data to your edition. Merge pending then will recombine with House of Gold
#23/24 Doing this one last. It will take some time.
#26 Leaving for now as it does have a valid link. Would prefer not to do a full delete as it'll lose all reviews.

Katherine, it might be best to use the Clarkesworld thread for these short story requests, as they often take a bit longer to clean up properly.

[Emy]

#25 Goodreads does not delete out of print works, which includes "unpublished" ebooks. We're a catalogue not a book vendor.

[Katherine]

re 23 - If the various short stories should be merged into their original magazine publications instead, let me know and I'll do that work and repost in the magazine thread.

Re 26 - I'll make a merge target for it, ISFDB has data on the periodical.

Per the author, Erica Monroe, please delete the following for the listed reasons. I am unable because I am not a super librarian...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (was created by a reader and she doesn't wish to have it listed yet)

and

THANK YOU!

[Emily]

#49, we do not delete valid books. If a reader wishes to add a copy of the book with their cover they are welcome to. If the other book hasn't been published in any form, the author can send a message to Support about its circumstances from the Help tab at the bottom of the page, and they can make a decision.

I was trying to add myself as a contributor to the following anthology: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Instead, I accidentally made a duplicate. Here is the duplicate:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Please delete the duplicate, and add the first version of the book to my author page. You will see that my name is one of those listed on the original book's contributors.

Thank you.
