A major publisher of audiobooks has been including itself on the author list of their Audible editions on Amazon. As such, the Goodreads bot has imported the Audible editions to Goodreads and created a sizable author page for the publisher, even though it shouldn't have one since that information goes in the Publisher field of the book's metadata. My questions are:

1. To inform librarians that this needs to be fixed, should I start a thread in book/author editions asking for the page to be simply deleted, or should I set it up in Projects since it might be a longer, more involved process?

2. Is there any way to prevent the author page from being re-created on future imports?

I've been seeing this a lot lately. I would send it to support.
