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.)

Cheers, Patrick
