Are you sure you (and others) would want that functionality deleted? If you're fetching metadata, I'd think you'd want the series name entered when it's blank. I checked it by testing, and sure enough, it won't overwrite a series name - it just adds it when the series field is empty.

Please make it a user option.
Reasoning: Having no series name is more obvious that having a "alternate" series name for a already existing series.
( I had to drop the noise words in the standard series names because I created folders using {series[0]} and it does not allow the use of the "series sort" field in the "series" table.)
We also know that these meta-data sources lack consistency :/
