Author Occupation - CK Data hidden by removed split

https://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/search.php?f=17&q=Theologian%2C...

The above search has two authors that had been split but then returned to a single author. The CK on the split authors didn't trigger a combination issue because it was a removed split, but is now blocked from being cleaned up because it was part of a split.

Is there a way to fix this?

>1 gilroy: Christopher Villiers needs to be re-split. The actor and the theologian/poet (pictured) are not the same person.

>2 DuncanHill: If it's resplit, then the problem goes away for that author, but it remains for many others who've been made one author but never had their CK fixed.

Another instance

What you can do is re-split, copy the data, then unsplit and type the date back in where it's meant to be.

The John O. Koehler case looks like at some point several different John Koehlers were combined at the John O. Koehler page. They have all been separated out correctly now, with aliasing as appropriate. I've removed the CK data from the old splits at John O. Koehler.
So we now have:

https://www.librarything.com/a/70830/John-O-Koehler
https://www.librarything.com/a/1872425/John-Philipp-Koehler
https://www.librarything.com/a/17491764/John-L-Koehler
Which we hope will never be recombined!

>4 gilroy: Looks like another one that should be re-split. The furniture books are not by the crime writer, and I suspect the archaeology and herbicide books are by others. I'll get on it now.

And another - though I don't think this is a split again situation

>7 gilroy: Well Cross certainly should be split.

Well I think I've sorted out the stray CK at any rate.
