WP:CHIMERA; a DAB page would better serve readers. fgnievinski (talk) 02:32, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. A dab page would not be appropriate per WP:PTM, any more than listing all libraries in Library (disambiguation) would be. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NLIST and utter lack of criteria. There are lots of different kinds of repositories. Lumping them all together in one list makes no sense; I doubt anybody has done so in the past. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Consider the equally inappropriate and vague List of collections, whereas more focused lists exist, e.g. List of numismatic collections and List of collections of Japanese art. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: chiming in to agree with Clarityfiend re: dab page. I don't even think this ("Repositories") would be a particularly useful category, though it could possibly be a bucket category holding more specific ones. -- asilvering (talk) 04:58, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
