book listed wrong in series

Hi, this request hasn't been done probably because it's missing details/some stuff is confusing. On amazon the book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... says inside the book "A Light of Lumin novel" also the title has been changed several times one of them by a staff so we are hesitant to change it or remove such information. The series name was changed by someone from "Fight for Light" to "Fight for Light/Light of Lumin", this doesn't seem to conform to policies, why was it changed? Was the series rebranded? Why are there two series pages, one is a series and the other is a series page for the whole world (several series that follow a chronological order, for example)? Why should it be deleted?

I can see the confusion. The books have always been a series. The series name changed from Fight for Light to Light of Lumin. I'm in the process of changing the covers over and rebranding the series. They aren't currently available until I finish. But Lumin Wolf Pack is not a series and hasn't been one. Silver Moon is a companion book to the Light of Lumin series and written in the same world. I guess it would be easier to either add it to the Light of Lumin series or not have it in a series at all. I hope that helps to clarify.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
When a series is rebranded we change the series name and add in the description something like "Previously called XYZ", etc. The editions before the rebranding should keep the old name of the series in the title (so people looking for that series name can find it) you can set the primary/default edition to be the new cover (only verified authors can do this). I have changed the series name and added the note in the description of the previous name https://www.goodreads.com/series/1866...Now about the series deletion, I believe I've found all the relevant previous threads:

Lumin Wolf Pack was/planned to be a series at one point per the linked threads. I'm not sure what to do in this case, I think it would be ok to delete as the other two covers have the name of the series that never was, but again I'm not sure.
As for the numbering, the title says it's book 8, is this correct? and it's already added as book 8 in the Light of Lumin series. It's a full length novel, but the numbering would depend on the order of the series, if it doesn't follow an order but it's still part of the series it can stay in the series without numbering.

I forgot I had other names when I was deciding what to do with Silver Moon. I think it's perfect as #8 in the Light of Lumin series. As for the Lumin Wolf Pack, I think I had it planned but it didn't work out and I kept it with the Light of Lumin world/series. Sorry for the confusion. I do think Lumin Wolf Pack should be deleted if possible. As I revise and recover the books, they will all be in the Light of Lumin series. Thank you!
Hi Nikki, sorry for the late reply. I have deleted the series as I got a reply from another librarian that the series is ok to delete since the series was scrapped, and added a note to the book explaining the situation with a link to this thread :)
Silver Moon is incorrectly listed in 2 different series.

The correct series is Fight for Light/Light of Lumin:

This series should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2064...
Thank you!
