Silvia Kuna Ballero (thecriticalmartian) | 22 comments Hello,

I have added the following book: Marte, colore di sangue listing the author with its full name David Guy Compton.

However, I've found that he is also listed with the names David G. Compton, D. G. Compton, D.G. Compton (no spaces between initials), and others, which have each one their separate page. Here I list a few of them:

D.G. Compton
D. G. Compton
David G. Compton
D G Compton

Is it possibile to merge all those pages in one or make it so that all these names point to the same author page?

Thank you.

PS. These, too, should be fixed:
D. G. Compton Contributors include Robert Bloch
D. G. Compton -

lethe | 16359 comments In general, the name as it appears on the cover should be used. The Italian book you added has D.G. Compton, so there is no need to add the full name, unless it appears on other covers. But since your book is the only one on the David Guy Compton page, that does not seem to be the case.

I merged David Guy into D.G.

Could you move this request to the Looking for a Project? folder?
