Should this article be merged?
There are parallel articles for both Massimo Vignelli and his wife/lifelong collaborator Lella Vignelli. Both articles seem to struggle to underscore the husband/wife duo aspect of their practice, there are inconsistencies between the two, and they also repeat a fair amount of information. Would merging both into one (better written, more robust) main Lella and Massimo Vignelli article be a preferable solution to the actual separate article format? (For comparison, please see: Charles and Ray Eames article.)

[NB: There is also an article about their design company; a prior company which they helped found; as well as an article about the university centre which holds their archives — however, in the case of a merged article, those would remain separate but linked (though the Vignelli Associates article could be marked with a "Main article" tag).]

Opinions and advice on the matter most welcome. Thank you, Cl3phact0 (talk) 18:25, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

My feeling is that they should remain separate, although I certainly agree that more work could be done to make both articles (and especially Lella's) stronger. My concern about merging them is that it under-plays Lella's contributions to her field (with a significant risk that her creative role is interpreted as having been subservient to her husband). Although they did work together and much of their most famous works were indeed collaborations, more could be done in the article to highlight the work that was done independently, such as the jewelry she created; the article about their design company should focus on their shared output. (I'd also note that despite Charles and Ray Eames having a shared article, they also have separate ones (Charles and Ray, although The Eames Office redirects to their shared page.).
