Second, regarding the name, Goodreads policy is that the name that appears on the cover will be the first name in the contributors list. Therefore, Raquel Arbeteta will appear first on this and any other book released under that name. I added Raquel Arbeteta García as an additional contributor.
The name has been changed per your request.
Third, why are you asking to delete that edition? It seems perfectly valid. I combined it with another edition which already existed.
Isn't Raquel Arbeteta entirely included in Raquel Arbeteta García? Isn't it policy that when the shorter name is entirely included in the longer name we can show only the longer name? When I search "Raquel Arbeteta" the results are all for the longer name.
Yes, we do not need to retain the shorter name in this case.
My bad, I forgot about this. Anyway, the profile had no followers so no profile merge was needed. Changing the name deleted it automatically.
