Arenda | 26447 comments Librarians can't merge author profiles into a GR Author.
I've sent a request to GR Support to have them merged (since all have followers, so just moving the books is not enough to get rid of the wrong profiles).
Also found three other incorrect profiles, for Harlan Cobden, Harlan Corbin and Harlan Coven (I've included those in the request).

Thanks, Arenda. I don't know why I thought they didn't have followers! How silly of me. I wasn't sure where to post the request, but I figured someone here would suggest how.

I know with some authors they can redirect people to the right profile.

I don't know if the wrong book entries can be deleted. Should I make a separate request for those? For example, all of the books listed under Harlon Coben link to the real Harlan Coben's books with the right author's name. Does that mean the book on the wrong author's list could be deleted somehow?

Scott | 8635 comments I looked at them yesterday and merged a couple but there are records that have more adds than I can handle, so you can make a thread in the Superlibrarian section for them if you like.

Scott | 8635 comments The books under "Harlon Coben" have been moved.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

It just takes a few days for the main page to update.

Thanks, Scott. I might try that. I'm not even a fan of his!

Arenda | 26447 comments I had already bookmarked the duplicate books, but wanted to wait for the author profiles to be merged. No need to make a post about them. I hope I can get to them today.

Arenda | 26447 comments Multiple empty duplicate editions merged.
Also combined several translations.
