Hello,
I got the data of this book automatically imported, author`s name was included and his page was automatically created.. however, the page shows that he has no books, and there`s no way to link the book to him.

Higuchi Kazunori (The sentence "Author of....." not included)
Works by Higuchi Kazunori
No works currently cataloged. "The book should be mentioned here"

I got it!
I did the same to another author and it works!
Thank you!

Update: there are problems merging them.. can you check it?

Combination issues. This author has combination issues that need to be cleared up.

Another problem.. can I delete authors or can I request so?
Same merging page has these entries (that were added by an Amazon Japan import, but wrong).

https://www.librarything.com/author/mccreeryrikoimahashi

I already cleared the wrong entry done by Amazon JP and added an author and a translator.. but the wrong entry is still here as a separate author.

>3 cairoartsjp: I've merged the other Riko Imahashi page for you

We can not remove the other ones. If other users have entered their info that way, it's "sacrosanct".
