lethe | 16368 comments I don't do series with subseries, but I want to note that there already is a series in the original language: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5898...

A Greek series would only be added if the numbering was different from the original series. (It can be added to the title fields, though.)

Michele | 6354 comments I believe these are not serieses as GR defines a series, but rather an imprint. Like Harlequin romance. See "Imprints are not series" on this page https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Imprints are not series according to GR policy. A listopia could be made for them, which any user(s) can do (limited to a 100 titles per user).

"For example "Ανθολογία Επιστημονικής Φαντασίας": https://www.goodreads.com/series/322848"

Yes, that is not a series and should not have been added as such. It has only 77 titles. Would you like to create a listopia for it before it is deleted?

The Listopia would literally help preserve the member's "fine work", but if you're not willing to do that, I'm afraid it will just have to be deleted.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7869 comments Goodreads librarians are volunteers who are required to follow policy or run the risk of having their librarian privileges revoked. We don't make policy. If you have feedback or comments on Goodreads policy, please use the Contact us link on the Help page to contact staff.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7869 comments Series created against policy deleted. Lists of imprints do not qualify as a series, as noted by librarians, above. Such against-policy series will be deleted as they are found. As a librarian pointed out, imprints can be saved as Listopias.
