This does not require assistance from a Superlibrarian; I have moved it to the correct folder. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

So, this is the account
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
which I think should be kept because there are more books under it.

While, this is the other one which has only one book under it.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I think the user who created this another account was confused with the spelling of the author's middle name "Ahmed" the account which has multiple books under it has the spelling of the author's middle name as "Ahmad"

Scott | 8860 comments Merged. His name should probably be written in Urdu, though.

Hi, rivka. Which folder? Could you tell me its name?


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Most people use roman Urdu on the internet to search the author :D

It's in Urdu on the book covers, which is what we go by. Unfortunately I can't find a place to copy and paste.

Maybe I could help you with it. Yeah, that way there would be less confusions.


message 11: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8860 comments Are you able to type it here?


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. His name typed in urdu is this: محمود احمد مودی

I need to ask for few more corrections. Can I ask it here or do I need to create another topics for them?
