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
Who “we" are I dont know ;-)

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

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.
