Axel | 2 comments What are the rules and/or policies for "Articles as Books" on Goodreads?

Because recently I have noticed a number of "books" that are taken directly from Danish and Norwegian Wikipedia, mainly "list of authors".
If this is allowed I will respect it but it seems like it could be a form of spam or of cheating the system.

Should it be needed I can give examples of the texts I refer to here.

Moloch | 3975 comments You're thinking of books like this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... or the works by this "author"? https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Those are allowed on Goodreads

Axel | 2 comments Thank you! That is good to know.
I was just confused by https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... when I tried to look up Jon Ewo and Johannes Wiedewelts personal works.
