[COMPLETE] Duplicate Author Page Merge

[Drace]

The author S.A. Cosby has a duplicate page on Goodreads. Could somebody please merge his duplicate page with his actual page?

S.A. Cosby - Valid page
S. A. Cosby - Invalid duplicate

Are these also his works? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Yep. Good catch, I didn't even see that author page.

Moved the books on the duplicate page and contacted Support to merge the second page (...and also a third) so that followers will be moved as well.

Thanks so much for your help. I have another active thread about merging authors and didn't realize the staff follower moving would be a part of it as well. When a librarian gets around to the thread, I'll ask them about contacting staff for the follower move.

[Liralen]

Staff only has to be involved if one of the profiles is claimed—librarians can't edit claimed profiles, so we also can't merge into them. It didn't matter for the invalid page you linked here (no followers, so I could just move the books, and the empty page would auto-delete), but if you need to merge an unclaimed profile with followers into a claimed profile, it's best just to contact Support straight off.

Thanks for the clarification. Neither of the author pages in the other thread are claimed, so that'll make life a lot easier for the librarians.
