Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Christopher Lane - 3 spaces - is the narrator but a lot of his works are on the 5^ profile

Tasks:
Moving narrated works to the 3^ Christopher Lane from the incorrect Christopher Lane (5^).

This is part of a larger work in progress of disambiguation on the various Christopher Lane profiles, which has moved an identified author from the 1^ to 5^. I'm in the process of moving the large amount of records that should now be on the (new) 3^ profile from the older 5^ profile. Anyone who wants to chip in on this would be very much appreciated.

NB: He's a VERY prolific narrator.

Aside on space numbers:
Currently the disambig profile is 1^
2^ is a claimed profile
3^ is this guy, the narrator
4 & 5^ are both identified but unclaimed profiles.

Would it be best to move the disambig profile to the 3^ given the number of automated imports that are likely to land the narrator at the 1^ profile? I wouldn't normally do that, but I'm rather unsure here!

Arenda | 26452 comments All audiobooks (including several editions where the author role was either wrong or empty) are now moved to the 3-space profile.

Would it be best to move the disambig profile to the 3^ given the number of automated imports that are likely to land the narrator at the 1^ profile?

Considering the large number of books, and especially that books by a secondary author can't be disambiguated from the disambiguation page (nor accessed through the combine page) but have to be manually edited for each edition, I agree your suggestion would make sense in this case.
I suggest adding a Librarian note on the 1-space profile to link to the 3-space disambiguation profile, to prevent books that are being moved ending up incorrectly on the claimed 2-space profile.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments I've swapped the 3^ and 1^ profiles over now, so hopefully there will be less cleanup needed for that profile from now on!
