Kourosh Dini | 1 comments Dear Librarian,

I've just joined the author's program here at Goodreads. Would you please merge this author account:

into this one?:

Thank you.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (yes, I know it's empty)

This author claimed Deborah^^J.^Martin, even though there are no other Deborah J. Martins on Goodreads. I moved a book to her profile before realizing there was no need for the disambiguation, thus this profile is now empty. Can you edit the extra space out of her claimed profile to prevent her books going astray in the future?

She has used both names but Stewart is only on the oldest books (2004-2007). The latest (a dozen or so titles) are all Jennifer Griffith BUT she has Stewart as the Goodreads Author. I suppose leaving the two profiles is an option. I've moved the works to the relevant named profile.

The thread that started it off:

List of books on her site:

This author has published under both "Steve Wells" and "Steven M. Wells", but the one name he hasn't published under, "Steven Wells", is the profile he's claimed. At the moment, he's got a series that's split between profiles because of this issue.

EDIT: Author has stated he would prefer Steven M. Wells here.

Allie (antlersantlers) | 14 comments This one isn't a merger, it's just a goodreads author with a degree as part of her name.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Looks like the book that was assigned to the 2nd profile was moved to the first one.

2nd is empty but has fans.
