[COMPLETE] Duplicate Author Page

[Drace]

The hardcover edition of Walking Practice by Dolki Min (ISBN 9780063258617) has a duplicate author on it. 돌기민 is just Dolki Min's name written in Hangul, so to avoid redundancy the author page should be deleted or merged with the main author page (Dolki Min).

It's been two days, so I'm bumping the thread.

Bumping.

Another bump.

Since there is also a Korean edition, the author page should not be removed or merged, but I have removed the name from the English edition.

Slightly belated reply because I've been busy with projects, but is it Goodreads policy to have a separate author page for each language an author has been published in? That seems like it could get really cluttered really fast. Having separate pages for Charles Dickens, チャールズ・ディケンズ, 찰스 디킨스, Чарльз Диккенс, and Κάρολος Ντίκενς because Oliver Twist has been published in English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Greek seems like it would just be a bit much to work with.

And thank you for your help with the English edition!

Yes, the name of the author as it appears on the book should be added. This is to ensure that readers searching by that name can find the book.

That also means that misspellings should be added (f.e. Jane Austen is sometimes misspelled as Jane Austin).

Adding typos seems like a bridge too far, but I'm not the person who writes Goodreads policy. Anyways, thanks so much for all your help. Marking the thread as complete.
