Author Combine/Alias

The author K.A. Tucker (https://www.librarything.com/author/tuckerka-1) also writes as Nina West (https://www.librarything.com/author/westnina-1). I was going to alias Nina West-1 into K.A. Tucker -1, but I can't seem to get the aliasing process quite right. Then I got to thinking should just combine the books since most of the book covers under Nina West actually say K.A. Tucker. So, before I mess things up what would be the correct solution? Thanks

No! Do not combine! Most doesn't count. Unless all of the books on each author page are by the same person, they should not be combined.

You need to alias one author into the other disambiguation page, and then move the works to the correct split.

BTW putting parenthesis around URLs makes them not work.

https://www.librarything.com/author/westnina-1

There are multiple authors for both of these names. They should not all be dumped into the same pot.

Thanks for your answer. That was why I asked the question before combining anything.
