Hi Morten, FIRST imho you have to find the "right" Chekov - OL has more than one page for this author:
http://openlibrary.org/a/OL426731A/Anatoliĭ_Chekhov http://openlibrary.org/a/OL3167740A/Anton_Tschechow http://openlibrary.org/a/OL2624515A/Chekhov http://openlibrary.org/a/OL19677A/Chekhov_Anton_Pavlovich http://openlibrary.org/a/OL3156833A/Anton_Pavlovitch_Chekhov How to find the right Chekhov? Search for a low intern number (3156833 is high) and a maximum of linked works. In his case: Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (19677) is the winner. SECOND: Now you can edit the name (choose the most common), add alternate names (original Russian form etc.), add links and a biography. In a THIRD step you may add to the duplicate pages the info: [Duplicate][1] [1]:/a/OL19677A This will produce a link to the main author page. (In the new OL version there will be a merge function.)
