I'm not sure if this query is related to bug 7419, or just something that we are doing wrong (or not doing right.) (Koha v. 3.6.1.)

Our cataloguers have started looking at "duplicate authorities" (mainly caused by import of Z39.50 biblios) and editing the biblios by using the drop-down "Tag Editor" at 100$a and "choosing" the one they wish to retain, then deleting the "old|unused" authority.

As an example, they started with:
Gibbs-Smith, C. H.,     Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles H.,        Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles H., 1909-  Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles H., 1909-1981      Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-     Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         4 biblio(s)

and ended with:
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         1 biblio(s)     
Gibbs-Smith, Charles Harvard, 1909-1981         Details         4 biblio(s)

The incremental zebra (-z) crontab does nothing to deduplicate, nor does a complete zebra authority reindex (-a -r -v), and I have tried additionally (-b -r -v -x) -- no joy.

Is there a way to deduplicate?

Thanks and regards - Paul
