Someone keeps deleting my "Hard Case Crime" novel series.

It doesn't look like these qualify as a series on Goodreads. That is probably why they are being deleted. You can make Listopia lists of them. From the librarian manual: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Imprints are not series
Imprints and other unrelated collections of works (usually by multiple authors) are not series. They can be grouped with a Listopia list, or the collection/imprint information can be listed in the edition field, but they should not be grouped into a series, or listed on a book's title line.
As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common. In the case of imprints and other non-series collections, it is common for some of these books to be published under numerous other imprints as well.
For example, SF Masterworks would not be a series, and neither would Harlequin Blaze.
Well, that was a total waste of time then, I totally get it now, thanks for the explanation, you can close the topic.

I need some help from the staff or someone who might help me with this problem, someone keeps deleting my "Hard Case Crime" series of novels (https://www.goodreads.com/series/342315) that I've created twice by now, a list that took me more than a hour to create and order by publication order, but this is the second time someone just decide to delete it for whatever reason, without any warning whatsoever, I need someone capable of checking out who is doing this and please tell him to stop, and I'd like to know if it is possible to recover that series, because I'm not gonna create the whole thing a third time, the only reason I've decided to create it, was to help the community find this list of novels just like they have on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Ca...), I'm planning to read the graphic novels, so I've decided to create a series (which you can find in https://www.goodreads.com/series/342317) and I've decided to do the same for the series of novels, only to check it out later and see it deleted, and in case this was removed by the staff, I'd like at least an explanation.
