I've been talking to Francisco X. Stork, who can't figure out how to get all of his accounts connected (he has two or three): http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/90...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
And I think this is his other one, though I can't see much of it since I'm not friends with that account: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/29...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... - This one can be changed to 2 spaces between names instead of 4.

has 2 names Sharon Ellis and Sharon Roni Ellis:http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
she does seem to have used both on different books

There is non-GR profile page for the same Sharon Roni Ellis:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and a Goodreads Author profile for a different Sharon^^Ellis:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
And a non-GR profile for (probably) another Sharon^Ellis:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
This is my only contribution on this thread for today.

Do not list authors for disambiguation, authors who are deceased, or authors needing merging where neither profile has been claimed.
Posts that do not belong in this thread may be deleted.
Sorry about that. I only listed the other two "Sharon Ellis" pages in case you were going to edit the original into a NEW Sharon Ellis. I thought it might save time and effort since I'd already found them.

Does anything need to be done about Goodreads Authors who have died but whose Goodreads Author accounts are still in place?

There is at least one on the non-GR author that does not belong to the other. So rather than merge the profiles, you'll need to edit the ones that do need moving.
Mod
You can post those here too. Please also provide a link to an obit or similar.
Deceased Goodreads Author. Actually died 10 years before Goodreads was created.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

There are a couple of authors who seem to be using the "died" option to play games. neither seem to be dead.

Deceased Goodreads Author. This one died 30 years before Goodreads was created. Movie director William Castle.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I can't find an obituary as such but the pages below all have his life and death and agree on the date of his death. The list of films on the GR page confirm it is the same person.
IMDB biography

"His" blog, linked from the GR page, even refers to the fact that he would have been 98 on April 23rd, 2012 if he was still alive.
