 * Keep A quick Google found a 1976 scholarly paper on one of Harries' works, which I've added: clearly notable artists. Pam  D  07:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Possibly split as they have independent existences and not all their work is joint. Pam  D  09:46, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Just expanded the article including Harvard Art Museums holding, etc. See WP:NARTIST. Pam  D  10:23, 3 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep I found good sources when I searched "Harries/Héder" although not all of it was about them. I think maybe the article should be titled Harries/Héder Collective and then have subsections about their individual work. With art in the collections of two museums criteria 4 of WP:NARTIST is met.

 * Keep - This article is a clear WP:NARTIST and WP:GNG pass. Mags Harries is a very well known public artist who has created permanent sculptures and installations in multiple cities. She is also reprensented in several notable museum collections. Her partner Lajos Héder is not as well known as she, but that is not a reason for deletion. Here are a few items of interest found in a quick WP:BEFORE: her public art piece (long term permanent public art) for the of city of Des Moines ; permanent public art work at UMass Museum of Contemporary Art: ; permanent public art work for the city of Los Angeles:; Boston Globe feature: ; work in RISD Museum: ; permanent public art work for the city of Scottsdale, AZ: ; public artwork for the city of Austin ...this is just a fraction of what can easily be found online. It is recommended that a WP:BEFORE be done before nominating an article for deletion. Netherzone (talk) 17:01, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the sources shown above and arguments presented by Netherzone. Theredproject (talk) 17:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Split Each artist has an identity on VIAF and on wikidata Mags Harries and Lajos Héder. While individually one will have shorter article than the other, in future it will better to have distinct authority control. Alternatively the article should be moved to "Harries/ Héder Collaborative". WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
