Remove Duplicate NotebookLM Sources | Mervadon

Normalize URLs and compare text and content hashes locally to prevent repeated NotebookLM research sources from creating noise.

Mervadon is an independent Chrome extension, not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or NotebookLM.

Clean before you import

One source, once.

Repeated captures make a research set harder to inspect. Mervadon checks local source records before the same work is imported again.

URL normalization

Tracking-parameter differences can be normalized before comparing source records.

Text comparison

Matching or near-identical captured text can reveal repeated content that uses different URLs.

Content hashes

Stable content checks help reuse an existing source record instead of creating another one.

User confirmation

Potential duplicates remain reviewable; destructive deletion is not performed silently.

What counts as a duplicate

A duplicate is a local comparison result, not a claim that two pages are identical in every meaningful way. Canonical URL, normalized URL, text, and content-hash checks provide evidence for the match, while the user remains in control of the final action.

Why clean locally first

Deduplicating before a NotebookLM import keeps the source set smaller and easier to audit. It also lets you recover the original source record if an import or connection attempt is interrupted.

Read next

Follow the duplicate-source guide and then organize the resulting source set.

Make the next source easier to trust.
