Re: [Wikidata] Identifiers: Multiple VIAF numbers

Yes, I think you should add all VIAFs. That is what I have done. I suppose the VIAF people might discover mergeable VIAFs and merge them. On Wikidata the Ivan A. Krestinin's bot at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:KrBot seems to operate and clear things up if VIAF merge, see e.g. the edits after the revision in this item: 

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q20984804&oldid=473484364#P214

I don't know whether VIAF monitors Wikidata.

A no answer of your question about koordination between VIAF WIkidata

But I asked this question at Wikidata cons in Berlin
And got the answer if its duplicated add them and then we take away when its merged in VIAF

Hi all,
I understand this is probably outside the scope of Wikidata-l, but I am looking for advice in what I am noticing is a somewhat re-occuring issue with VIAF identifiers. 

For a lot of items, I am finding 2 or more VIAF numbers for BLP subjects.

Recently I've found up to 4 VIAF numbers:
- https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45311838 <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikidata.org%2Fwiki%2FQ45311838&data=02%7C01%7C%7C676e17415f994e53c00c08d5414e0b0b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636486725800186666&sdata=fHo1kJ0wmyoLtT50tdQj%2FgsDmQlvVN2ZCjXhIUAxeog%3D&reserved=0> - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45311745 <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikidata.org%2Fwiki%2FQ45311745&data=02%7C01%7C%7C676e17415f994e53c00c08d5414e0b0b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636486725800186666&sdata=eAxW1T092KpXRIO3fZ1b8xHlMPFuEN6cGpNucR3pBrg%3D&reserved=0>
Is there coordination between Wikidata and VIAF that is automated and fixes things like this.
I don't want to remove some of these VIAF numbers as they are tied to "legit" authority bodies. I understand there is often a "main" VIAF number... 

Thanks in advance for any assistance and/or advice with this.

- Erika
