Find Unrelated Series

This is getting exasperating

Series metadata download happens and the series fills in, only there is already ANOTHER series with the same name:
Magic (4 different- unrelated series)
Star Force (2)
Code Breakers (2)
more, some errors yet to be discovered

Something (like Find Duplicates) that looks at a series name and the Authors.
If 1 or more authors Match = same series eg. Larry Niven and Greg Benford for Man-Kzin

No matches flag for User

A match should allow appearance in any level of a hierarchical series

Should MATCH, but flag:
missing or included articles (The Jones, Jonses)
if includes unnecessary words; Series, Novels
use of plurals: Mystery, Mysteries

Learn the fix used (tie breaker)/or ignore list
