Bad Amazon Data in a Work Flagged as Spam?

I'm not sure if there's a better place for this to go, but...

This Work with the title "Cellet 4GB MicroSD for Micromax X454 Smartphone custom flash memory..." by Eduardo Galeano https://www.librarything.com/work/23345749/ was reported as Spam, but looking into the editions there crop up multiple ISBN numbers associated with works by the associated author, and if you look up those ISBN numbers you find a usually non-US amazon page actually advertising a book and at least one US amazon page for the MicroSD card under which all these entries somehow got combined.

I think this is less a spam fighting issue but one of bad amazon data imports and auto-combinations

That actually seems to hold in some form for all the weird Micro SD card titled works reported as spam afaict

>1 chwiggy:, >5 spiralsheep: It seems Eduardo Galeano has been busy in his post-mortem years ... and an author division may be in order.

ETA: Done, with a disambiguation notice added. Certain "Common Knowledge edits adhering to a secondary, combined author name" remain on the German, Italian, Dutch, Catalan, and Spanish sites, which I attempted (but apparently failed) to switch over. Thought & suggestions? Or does someone need to log into the respective language-dominant LT sites, and remove those prior edits from the new Eduardo Galeano (disambiguation) page? TIA!

>6 jasbro: There is a known bug regarding that problem, but I don't have the thread handy at the moment
