Hi all,

A week ago, Mike Maehr opened issue 152 on GitHub [1]: "Pattern with
thousands of really bad author names", referring to names like
Count Cddssa 27022 Basie
Jimmy Cddelt 24980 Buffett
Steve Cdduny 27009 Lacy

It appears that the first and last words in these "names" are the real
names. But, getting to my point, they are musical artists and these
Authors (and their variants) are linked to music CDs only/mostly. I
know there are no rules at the Open Library, but I think these items
do not belong on OpenLibrary.org.
The items were apparently imported from Amazon (some do not exist
anymore on Amazon) and they were published by only a limited number of
publishers. That could mean it is not too hard to find (and delete?)
these records.

What do you think?

Ben
