Adding an author page and separating out the works of that author (and can anyone do it?)

I'm working on the book collection of Andrea and Jeanne Rothe, and have added a few books that he was an added author on. However, these books are going to a page of some other (!) Andrea Rothe who wrote a book in German ("Männer – Prostitution – Tourismus : Wenn Herren reisen")
Is it possible to create a separate page for the Andrea Rothe who was the head conservator of the Getty and did not write the above book? I've been looking at instructions on how to possibly do that but I don't see any starting point. Thanks!

>2 2wonderY: yes, that's the other Andrea Rothe. The one I'm trying to separate out worked on materials for the Getty Conservation Institute and didn't write the book that page attributes to him.
For example, he worked on this book https://www.librarything.com/work/22957698

okay, I added him as a contributor to that title and it shows on the author page. Then I went to the brand new Helper Hub and split the author.

Just to explain a bit.
On LT, when two or more authors have the same name, they do not get a separate page each. Instead, they are the same page, but it is possible to split that page so that each individual appears as Author X (1), Author X (2), etc.
